Columbia river trip. 

We counted 42 Waterfalls by the end of the trip. we stayed at the Embassy suites near Portland.


The hotel is hollow inside is a huge courtyard with koi ponds and waterfalls.

Kris at the Hotel

The fish hatchery near the Bonneville dam, some huge sturgeon.

Big and ugly cool!

The trout ponds were teeming, and some really big trout actually, fun because you can feed them though.

But the waterfalls are what we came to see, and we were not disappointed, with the recent rains they were running full and roaring!.


Multnomah Falls


The roaring volume of water is amazing.


Upper falls from the bridge!

Looking down the lower falls from the bridge.

Upper falls as it hits.

Dryden has observed that it's also really cold on the bridge <grins>

Back through Portland

And  heading home down the sunset highway. quite an adventure to wrap up February .
