One of the bad parts about a short trip is you don't have a lot of time. This was a gorgeous drive along the old Columbia River Highway. The falls were great but the lighting I had for pictures was awful so you do what you can with what you are given. This first falls is Latourell Falls a 249 foot falls.

This is the stream after coming down Bridal Veil Falls. The falls is about a 3/4 mile round trip hike. The trail is very well maintained.

Left is Bridal Veil Falls, below left Multnomah Falls and below Horse Tail falls. The Columbia River Gorge Highway is a spectacular drive. The stone work along the roadway, the beautiful scenery and of course Crown Point Vista House. We had a morning to drive it and that was it. By the Multnomah Falls is the Lodge completed in 1925. It is a 2-1/2 story rustic structure that includes bathroom, gift shop, park information and food.
