Kim at Cannon Beach
|
Kim got a little wet wading into the ocean. In the back is Haystack Rock, one of the more well-known sea stacks.
|
|
Oregon Coast
|
From Cannon Beach, we drove south along the coast, headed for Tillamook. This is just one of many beautiful vistas along the road.
|
|
Plaid Pants!
|
Kim's jeans got wet at the beach so she had to get these excellent plaid pants.
|
|
Cheese Factory
|
We got to Tillamook on the late side, but were pleased to discover that the cheese factory was open until 8 so we could still go for a tour and taste some cheese.
|
|
Wahclella Falls
|
Saturday afternoon, we drove into the Columbia River Gorge to
do a short hike to Wahclella (pronounced like walk-leela) Falls.
|
|
Kim and the falls
|
The name says it all
|
|
Along the trail
|
Some rough water as the river makes its way to the Columbia.
|
|
River crossing
|
The trail loops back from the falls, partially on the other side of the river.
|
|
Multnomah Falls
|
Just off the highway on our way back was Multnomah Falls. I think it's the second tallest in North America, at a total of 611 feet.
|
|
The Columbia River Gorge
|
And finally, a view of the Columbia River Gorge from a lookout point along the scenic/historic highway.
