Columbia River Gorge Walk(s) pictures- July 28, 2014

The start of our walk find us at Wahclella Falls

Most of this walk was along the stream

So pretty! Love the bridge along the water

We stop to take a selfie by some water cascading down the rocks (this is not the falls)

Water cascading down the rocks

We think this might be a Gnome Home

one set of man made stairs to climb

love all the rock formations here

I do love trees! These trees are piggy backing each other. You can see the roots from the back tree crawling up the front one.


Wahclella Falls!!!

nature made stairs down to the water


This was so worth the walk! So beautiful!!


We see a tree with a window to the falls and had to take a peek.


starting the trek back to the car



one more look back 



Our second walk of the day takes us to Elowah Falls and Upper McCord Creek. We start the walk by going to Upper McCord Creek


We stop for a quick selfie (ok, and to rest! The first part of the walk is all uphill and very tiring!)

more up hill 

We encounter this pipe in the trail several times. Not sure why it is here.

The view from the top! 

Oh, wait, we have a little further to go! You can't tell from the photo, but the next part is a narrow path, steep drop off and on the side of a cliff! Thank goodness for the little rail they have...


The small rail along the really scary part


We stop in the middle of the scary part to take this beautiful picture. So worth it!


Upper McCord Creek






Starting the trek back down so we can go to Elowah Falls

Um, yeah, we were up there!

Elowah Falls

Very pretty!




Another selfie, the falls are way in the back...

Our end of the trail walk. Tired but had a great time!
