Tamolitch Pool is a great easy hike for all ages. I visited in the Fall where there was lots of trees changing colors. It's quite busy on the weekend, but you can find a quiet spot somewhere along the ridge to have a snack and take in this amazing blue pool. I'd love to go back when there is water flowing down the falls! Also, if you can't get down here be sure to check out Little Crater Lake near Mt Hood. It's got the same crazy blue pool but it's a short walk from the parking lot.

This is a great short hike past 2 waterfalls. If the Sahalie Falls Parking lot is full, you can drive down to the Koosah Falls Trailhead. Watch out for mountain bikers on the McKenzie River trail, as it's a very popular spot.

One of the most gorgeous hikes in the gorge. Be prepared to wade into Eagle Creek to get a view of Punchbowl Falls. I did this in December and it was worth it!
