A few weeks ago, Dana wanted to take a trip to the Gorge. He was going to go on a short hike to see some waterfalls. Ruth and Magnus decided to come to get out of the house for a while. The hike was to Elowah Falls and Upper McCord Creek Falls. This is a favorite hike of ours, but we have never gone to the second waterfall. Magnus took a nap in the car, so Dana headed to the upper falls. The trail gets pretty high and has some great views, including a view into the amphitheater surrounding Elowah.
The weather was nice and there was plenty of green. Upper McCord Creek Falls is a very nice twin waterfall.
Dana met up with Ruth and Magnus heading to Elowah. The hike is almost a mile in and a mile out, and both Magnus and pregnant Ruth made it the whole way.
While Dana took climbed around taking pictures, Magnus threw rocks in the water and Ruth rested. Everybody had a great time.
We took a second trip to the Gorge this month just to have a nice drive. We stopped at some of the main spots on the Historic Highway. Crown Point was particularly windy that day. The kind of windy where it is difficult to stand. Magnus tried it for just a second and wanted to get back in the car exclaiming, “I not want to fly away.”
Latourell Falls was much less windy and Dana and Magnus had a nice stroll down to the falls. Parts of the trail were very icy and Magnus thought that was silly.
He also wanted to climb on these rocks we really like.
Multnomah Falls had a lot of ice on it, making it look a little different.
We found some icicles that made very handy swords.
