Adventure Thursday: Gorge fun

I got a text Sunday from Dad:

"How about a hike and bike ride in the Gorge on Thursday?"

Yes, please!

"I thought one last hurrah before you go back to work!"

WOOHOO - I love hurrahs ;)

First up: hiking Wahkeena Falls to Multnomah Falls, about a 5.5-mile loop:

We spotted a stub trail we'd never seen before and thought we'd explore:

Wasn't much of a trail:

I decided to abandon when poison oak became unavoidable (we were both in shorts).

I love this part of the trail:

Down, down, down to Multnomah Falls:

Made it to the lookout:

And down to tourist central:

And back to our starting point:

A lovely hike first thing in the morning!

Then we changed clothes and got on our bikes... 7 miles to Cascade Locks:

And back to the trailhead:

Thanks for the adventure, Dad!! :)
