Columbia river scenic byway

One of the most touristic place near Portland and not surprisingly. We drive and hike along most beautiful part.

We began from Cascade Locks and headed Wahclella falls. There were no crowds because of early morning. Lower falls.

    Beautiful waterfalls; sadly we only went to Multnomah falls. We hiked to the top of Multnomah and loved it.
