Multnomah Falls

 Today we drove to Multnomah Falls, just east of Portland.  It was about a 2 hour drive.  It was pretty rainy and misty, but we've been planning to get there for awhile, so we went anyway. 
 I believe that at least one of the Twilight movies filmed scenes here. 





 We hiked to the top, which was almost a mile, but 11 pretty steep switchbacks.  Trooper loved it.  Then he passed out in the car listening to Bon Iver. 
 Someone got pretty brave at the top and jumped up here.  That's the Columbia River there, with Washington on the other side. 


There's a little restaurant and shop at the base, but we packed sandwiches and had the dog, so maybe next time.  We didn't make it to Ikea or for burritos, but we had a great day and made it home in time for a doggie bath and 60 Minutes.
