Oregon Trip Report 2018 – Part 3
Continuing on from Part 1 and Part 2, Day Three started with a trip up the coast to see Haystack Rock:
Terrible Tilly (Tillamook Rock Lighthouse):
Hug Point Falls:
The original plan was to continue up the coast, but due to the cloud cover, we decided that it was perfect waterfall weather, so we headed to Portland to the Columbia River Gorge. Upon arriving we found clear skies and sun. Go figure. Stops included Lower Latourell Falls:
Upper Latourell Falls:
Multnomah Falls:
And because the weather had cleared, the last stop of the trip was Mt. Hood for sunset:
Watching the alpenglow fade on Mt. Hood was a great way to end the trip. Thanks for following along.
Through The Lens 137 – Upper Latourell Falls
Through The Lens 136 – Lower Latourell Falls
Lower Latourell Falls, from Guy W. Talbot State Park which is located in the Columbia River Gorge. This one required some patience because it was one of the few waterfall trails that was open again following the Eagle Creek Fire. As a result there were many people milling around at the base of the falls.
Through The Lens 132 – Rainbow Falls
Through The Lens 127 – Cunningham Falls
Through The Lens 92 – Elakala Falls
Another waterfall located in Blackwater Falls State Park, Elakala Falls is actually a series of four waterfalls as Shay Run drops into Blackwater Canyon. The upper portion shown above, is visible from a bridge directly above the Falls. Getting to the bottom requires some effort. I also made it down to the second section but couldn’t find the trail to the sections below that. Based on the trail descriptions I’ve seen, getting to the lower two sections is very difficult.
