The Falls

How is it that I haven't made it to Multnomah Falls, just outside of Portland? It possibly happened on a Japanese Exchange student field trip when I was younger, but I do not recall exactly.
Well, Andie and I finally did it this weekend! It was a surprising 3 miles round-trip, and the way out is a steep uphill climb. We were feeling good until we read a sign that identified "2 of 11 Switchbacks." But, we made it to the top and back. And as Andrea commented, we didn't really complain much and neither of us suggested stopping! We both donated a dollar at the end and felt very accomplished. I would recommend not wearing flip flops or taking young children. I honestly don't think people know what they're getting in to! Very pretty, though.
I didn't buy this one - I felt the photo would suffice.
