Waterfalls and More
This morning dawned a bright beautiful day, much deserved after the many days of cloudy weather we experienced in Tualatin. Anyway, it was the perfect day to drive Rt. 30, the Historic Columbia River Highway. There are many waterfalls along this route, most of which are visible from the road. The most famous of the falls is Multnomah Falls which is the most visited natural attraction in Oregon every year.
Route 30 is one that I recommend that you leave your RV parked elsewhere. There are a few places on the road that are about the width of one and one half lanes. There are also a lot of areas that, if driving west, you are looking straight down the side of the mountain with only a few small rocks to mark the side of the road - no guardrail! There are some state parks with camping, but I suggest that you get on and off I-84 at the nearest exit to the campground. All that said, it was a wonderfully beautiful drive and I strongly recommend it.
Be sure to stop at Crown Point Overlook, Vista House as the views of the Columbia River and Gorge are awesome.

How beautiful those falls must have been. Did you put your toes in the water to see how cold it was?
