Waterfalls

After our trip to Mount Saint Helens, we headed back towards the Portland area for the night. Prior to flying back to Minnesota, we took a trip along the Columbia River Gorge to see some waterfalls with Archie.

Rapids in the creek along the trail.

Another couple views of Wahkeena Falls.



Next it was on to Multnomah Falls.

People on the bridge give scale to the lower falls.

Pat & I realized how out of shape we were while trying to keep up with super hiker Archie on the trail to the top of the falls. We finally made it and got a great view of the Gorge from the top.

We tried to convince Archie that this is the spot to cliff jump, but he didn't seem to think that was true for some reason.
