We are in Portland, Oregon for three days to pick up our daughter Crystal and granddaughter Gracie at Portland International Airport. We are in Portland at the Columbia River RV Park for 2 days before they arrive so we decided to do some sightseeing. Last time we were in Seaside we heard about Multnomah Falls. We wanted to get here but never made it. It was a must go this time around.

| Multnomah Falls |
This is the picture of the falls that most people have seen. You can walk across the bridge and get a great picture of the upper falls.
 |
| Multnomah Falls |
The lower fall is only 69 feet tall, but the upper fall is 542 feet. The elevation gain is a total of over 700 feet.
 |
| Trail to the falls |
You can hike a trail of a little over 1 1/4 miles to the top of the upper falls. You must cross this bridge to get to the top.

| Bridge to the top |
As you can see there were a lot of people on the bridge but the people thinned down as you started up the trail to the top of the falls.

| Trail |
The trail was challenging because you climbed 700 feet elevation in a little over a mile, but it was beautiful and well worth the effort.

At mile marker 1 1/4 we are almost to the top. Finally! :)

We made it! What a spectacular view from the top! Now we get to hike back down...

Tomorrow we pick up Crystal and Gracie from the airport. We will be driving to Silverton, Or on Friday to the Silver Spurs RV Park. Crystal is here to visit a college roommate of hers from when she was at Cal Poly SLO named Kristen.
We are so looking forward to our visit.
That's it for today..
Thanks for reading,
God Bless you,
Brian and Patty
