Wow! Not the biggest, but one of the most complex waterfalls in all of the Washington and Oregon area and our new personal favorite! From the variety of fall speeds, the rushes to the trickling, the blues to the greens, it was all just amazing and breathtaking. Speaking of breathtaking, down at the bottom the spray was so cool and intense, it truly would take your breath away!
We even had to do a little repelling and (wet and slippery) rock climbing to get to the bottom of the falls and I had to face my fears. Hailey went ahead of me after I freaked out while climbing, so I then took a minute, found my inner peace and made the climb! I was proud of myself (see the photos at the bottom) for facing that situation and coming out on top.
If you ever in the Portland area, you have to go check out the falls! Only a .3 mile hike to get to the viewing platform, it is well worth the drive and partial back roads drive.
Cool side note, we saw several people picking up trash along the roadways and hiking paths, not by force but voluntarily! Just the way I like it and know it can be done! Major ups to those people and people like us! And just a note about the weather, we were stuck inside from cold and rain for the last week (getting the true Pacific Northwest experience) so it was glorious ot get out into some sunshine and nature!

Its really so refreshing to be with nature. Just staring at this scenery, you will feel relaxed and admire its beauty, how much more if you are there in the place breathing fresh air while listening to the sound of nature.

In a place like that, I am guessing even the air is full of beauty as you breath in the wonder that is nature. Is there any wonder that our ancestors felt waterfalls were sacred.

Hey @stranded! That's great that you bigged up, Niagara Falls! Being a Canadian, I've been so many times and it's equally as impressive as the first time.

Wow! I love it. If I lived close by, I'd be there every day 24/7... 365 days of the year. I am in love nature. I even hug trees when no one is looking. Thanx for sharing your beautiful adventure.
I also love the fact that people are taking care of Mother Earth by picking up rubbish, voluntarily. That is awesome.
Stop by my Blog and see my artwork. I do a lot of landscapes but some I have not posted yet. Cheers

If the way you describe is interesting, how it will be lived, it is a real feat. I recognize that being prepared psychologically is fundamental, and you had that preparation to be able to face the fears, that is, you entered into connection with yourself and of course also with the Creator of those natural beauties that inspired you to be there at the bottom of the same waterfalls.
