We are on the road again trying to add to our bucket list of things to complete. We are gypsies at heart and will try to visit the National Parks out West, tour Oregon and Washington States, sight see the western part of British Columbia, and Back to Alaska. Of course, we can't not visit Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and any states in between. So, come and join us in our adventure.

Columbia River Gorge

We drove from Astoria on the coast of the Pacific where the Columbia River exits into the ocean to Cascade Locks, Oregon located on theColumbia River Gorge.  After checking in at the KOA we had lunch and traveled Historic Route 30 to view 6 waterfalls that flow down the gorge.  The most spectacular one is the Multnomah Falls.  This is the one you have seen on TV advertising the gorge.  The upper falls is a 600 foot drop and the lower falls is 60 foot drop.  How spectacular!!!  I must say that I did not expect this spectacular Falls to be right beside I-84.  To say the least is  was beautiful.  Tomorrow we will travel to Mt Hood.  We won't leave Cascade Locks  until Sunday or possibly Monday for Pendelton and the Pendleton Outlet Store.  Let me know if I am to look for anything in particular for anyone?!  Enjoy the picture of the Multnomah Falls.
