Colors of the Washougal

I took my family up the Washougal River on a nice day. I think this is a beautiful body of water and there were some waterfalls on it that I hadn’t seen yet. Our first stop was to see this little waterfall flowing into the river. Notice the wonderful colors of the river itself.

On one stop we found this cute little lizard. Magnus really liked it.

Salmon Falls is not much to see, but just downstream is this cool shoreline.

Dougan Falls is the most well known spot on the Washougal. It is a great swim hole. The thing Magnus is holding is his map; he used it to help us not get lost.

Naked Falls was Magnus’s favorite, he thought the name was funny.

Reeder Falls is rather small and to interesting, though the canyon is pretty…

But downstream on the other side of the bridge is magnificent. This was Ruth’s favorite stop.

Our last stop was for the last two waterfalls. Again some amazing colors.

Mad Dog Falls was under a bridge. Magnus liked running around outside a lot, but he needed a break in the car.

Docs Drop Falls had a lot of interesting little details.

We finished our loop by coming back past Cape Horn. Magnus fell asleep holding is map and gps (an old Nintendo Gameboy), he could be a good navigator someday.
