Columbia River Gorge





I'm sure I posted similar pictures five years ago (can it be that long?!) after the Lovely Daughter and I made our trip out west to look at colleges. But those images have vanished into the stratosphere, so why not some new ones?

I didn't get any further than the bridge at Multnomah Falls on that venture. This time I made it to the top -- a hike of 1.5 hours up and 45 minutes down. The final photo is from about halfway.

I am now convinced that my students need to see some waterfalls.

Do you know I've lived in Oregon for 25 years and have yet to climb the falls? Only visited once, and I was with my non-hiking flat-lander family, so we did a lot of looking up an not much more... :P

Beautiful pictures which somehow give image to the scene described in a recent reading of "The Shack"...

The falls are breathtaking. I would LOVE to make a trip there.

I was there this last weekend. Really is a spectacular place.

Oh sigh... love the Columbia River Gorge. We lived in Hood River for 18 months and would move back in half a heart beat given the right conditions!
