This spot is so beautiful, it deserves its own post.\u00c2\u00a0 We arrived at Multnomah Falls<\/a> in late afternoon on our way back to Portland from Mt. Hood.\u00c2\u00a0 (see Mt. Hood post<\/a> for those pics)<\/p>\n

There is a viewing platform at the bottom, just past the restaurant and gift shop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Then it’s an easy walk up to the bridge at the level of the upper pool.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a story posted on a plaque here that tells of a bus-sized boulder coming loose, falling into the upper pool and drenching an unfortunate wedding party who had stopped to take photos on the bridge.\u00c2\u00a0 This prompted Fianc\u00c3\u00a9 to comment that we should stop there for pictures and to tempt a drenching fate should we choose to hold our wedding at Timberline.\u00c2\u00a0 Uh huh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The signs told us it was just a mile hike to the top, so we started up.\u00c2\u00a0 Just so you can get an idea of how steep that mile to the top is, take a look at the overall photo of the falls and this sign for the height.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yeah, that was a grueling walk up.\u00c2\u00a0 At least it was paved and had posts every so often to tell you how far you’d gone.\u00c2\u00a0 Near the top the sun started to set behind the mountains, so we pushed even harder – which is probably what made it so terribly grueling.\u00c2\u00a0 But I really didn’t want to walk down those switchbacks in the dark.<\/p>\n
