OREGON- COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE, OR- 8/06/00

NOTE: A Click of your Mouse on most of the pictures will enlarge them for better viewing

The next morning, we crossed the river and back to Oregon to explore some of the most scenic areas of the Columbia River Gorge. Our first stop was at the Bonnieville Dam.

An interesting feature of the dam is the fish ladder that lets the spawning fish up river and the hatched fish back down river toward the ocean. We caught a picture of some of the salmon in the ladder... in case you wonder about the end picture.

As we traveled down stream from the dam, we caught a few shots of Washington looking across the river

THE BREATHTAKING WATER FALLS OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE

In the heart of the gorge we came face to face with multiple waterfalls in about an eight mile stretch. Some of the falls required a short hike, many times up hills. The four year old made it to all the falls... with a little energy to spare.

MULTNOMAH FALLS

WAHKENNA FALLS

HORSETAIL FALLS

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS FALLS

An old historic bridge crossed the creek at the head of the trail to Latourell Falls

The trails into the falls provided their own beauty.

Crown Point was the last stop in the Gorge before heading back to good ole Peach Beach. The expansive view is almost breath-taking and we paused a few moments to savor.
