Tamolitch Blue Pool is a stunning natural wonder located at the base of Tamolitch Falls in Blue River, Oregon. The pool's vibrant colors and unique composition make it a breathtaking sight, especially considering that the waterfall itself has gone underground. Accessing the pool requires a challenging hike over rocks and a steep trail, but the reward is well worth it.
Part of the McKenzie River Trail, Tamolitch Blue Pool can be reached from two different access points, with the main one being at Trail Bridge Reservoir. Hiking shuttles are available for those who prefer a one-way hike, and it is recommended to visit during weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds. However, it's important to note that swimming in the pool is not advised due to the extremely cold water and potential dangers.
