C 'n T Road Trip

After dropping mom and dad off at the airport C and I decided to go on a little road trip! Since C didn't get to go to the falls on Thursday, T wanted to head there to hike up to the top again. We decided to cross over into Washington and travel along the Gorge on the Washington side. Along the way we stopped at a place called Beacon Rock. It is a rock that is 848 feet tall and sits right alongside the Colombia River. There is a mile long hike and 52 switchbacks that take you to the top and we loved it! Once you get to the top the view is absolutely breathtaking! You get a 360 degree view of your surroundings. We sat up there for quite a while just taking it all in. After hiking back down with an interesting group of people who had been out sailing, we continued on to Multnomah Falls. We stopped for brunch at Cascade Lockes just over the bridge on the Oregon side of the Colombia River. The drive to the falls was once again beautiful and once we got there we headed straight for the top. C was very glad he made the trek, as was I. We'll take you there when you come for a visit!
