We enjoyed the drive down the River ( Spokane to Portland with a stop at Hood River)-- lots of great picnic spots. The vegetation changed as we moved down West--becoming greener and greener.

I hike the trail to Multnomah Falls whenever I pass through. Short demanding hike. Love to see the mountain sheep along the freeway also.

The ever changing spectacular scenery nave become boring. I can't recall the number of times I have traveled the gorge and it and it is alway a trip of discovery and excitement. This time it was the kite-skiers carried along by the near-constant winds in the gorge. Their colorful kites contrasted to blues, dark grays and greens of the natural...

Easily one of the most beautiful areas of the country we've visited. From the waterfalls that allow you to walk right into the mist to the views of Mt. Hood and Mt.

This part of the world is beautiful and stunning. Who knew that the US had a piece of heaven within its borders. The cliffs and mountains are wonderful.

This is a must see. I wish it were a hidden treasure, but unfortunately it is well known and gets crowded. I'd recommend early morning to avoid the crowds and for the best quality photos. More than just Multnomah Falls, there are plenty of different waterfalls on the route to view, some involve hiking (on steep trails) to access. All...
