Wahkeena Falls (7/19/11)

After last week's rain out, it was time to take another group of Newberg Friends youth hiking in the Gorge. Last time we hit Angel's Rest. This time it was the Wahkeena Falls-to-Multnomah Falls loop.

Juan and Matthew braved the weather and joined Eryn and me for this week's soggy excursion.
The loop is dotted with waterfalls. First up: Wahkeena Falls...
Fairy Falls:
Juan was a photo-snapping machine!
We made it to the top of the Wahkeena Falls trail and took a rest-and-snack break. It had been raining lightly but steadily since we left the trail head, and we were pretty soaked. We debated turning around but decided to dig deep and finish the loop.

Made it to the top of Multnomah Falls:
Despite the rain and the fact that it was a Tuesday morning, the paved trail down from the upper lookout was crowded with tourists.

Trying to get the whole falls near the bridge:
The money shot at the bottom!
We finished out the loop and drove home right on time.

Another fun trip - yippee!! :)
