After seeing Vista House, we headed east over to
Latourell Falls which is the first waterfall from that point. You could hear the water rushing down even before you saw the falls. You had to hike up a small incline to see the falls.
I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves...
I have never seen so much moss covered trees in my life! So many shades of green!
If you wanted to get a little closer, you could take the hike to the top of the falls. However, once you are at the top, you cannot see the falls. You can only hear it. We saw a pre-existing makeshift trail at the top, but it looked too dangerous to go on, as there were no safety railings of any sort. I would hate to fall to my watery death and be dashed on the rocks below.
Coming from Southern CA where there are no real waterfalls, seeing this was quite cool for us.
The next stop on our tour of the Gorge's waterfalls was
Bridal Veil Falls :
You had to walk through the woods and cross a bridge to get to the vantage point.
TC and Bert climbing up the hill to meet me at the waterfall lookout point:
Last view of Bridal Veil Falls...
On to Multnomah Falls - this "double decker" waterfall is the 2nd highest in the U.S....
