A Really Tall Waterfall

Somehow after living in Oregon as long as Luis and I have, neither of us had ever hiked up to the top of Multnomah Falls.  As we had no real plans for the weekend, this seemed like as good a time as any.  And the kids were up to the challenge so this morning we hopped into the car and down the Gorge we drove.

So much for scenery.  Now it's time to climb up those 11 switchbacks!

We saw these fawns on our way up.  It looks as though they still need to grow into their ears.

Finally...the top.  The waterfall looks like a just little trickle from up here.  It's a long way down though.

The kids and I proving we made it all the way up.  Yes, we are sweaty.

Artsy shot #4.  This is just above the big drop.

The kids cooling themselves in the stream just above the falls.

Hiker dude.

Luis and Siena climbing the uphill before we get to go downhill.  Nevermind if that's confusing...

Oh, finally a downhill!

A little break near the bottom.

It was a fun walk and we got done before the crowds descended.  We spent the rest of the weekend at home handing out at home and it was wonderful.
