There
are a lot of waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Googled them.
Sorted them down to four that did not require steep hikes:
Latourelle
Falls
Multnomah
Falls
Horsetail
Falls
Starvation
Creek Falls
Went
to the first one. Darn. The parking lot was full and people were
circling, clogging up the road, lurking for spots. Not for us. We
got through the traffic backup and went to the next one.
Darn.
Same thing.
Okay,
there is a pullover in the center of the freeway going eastbound for the next
one. From there we can walk through an underpass and see the falls.
Oops. The parking lot is so full, they closed the exit.
One
hope left, 20 miles east, away from the most popular spots. Starvation
Creek.
Pulled
into the parking lot. 10 cars. Looked around. 4 people.
Cool.
Nobody
actually starved at Starvation Creek, but they did have a grand adventure.
A
short trail to the falls.
But
wait, a short walk down a trail to another waterfall. Cabin Creek falls.
Another
stretch of trail to Hole-in-the-Wall Falls.
Jesse
took a selfie while we were there.
A
good waterfall day.
Deschutes
River State Park for the night.
Morning
view.
Sweet.
