Plan your trip to Multnomah Water-falls.

How much planning is needed?
We never tought we will be trekking on this day.
It was cloudy and drizzling for few minutes every hour here in Portland.
We took a ride away from home to break the routiine. Obvious we do it every week at the end. Especially this day, no planning of any sort happend either in my thought or Pavani's mind. Both of us are just determined to have a memorable day and nothing more than that. Our enquiry on various actvities while in initial hour of our ride made us conclude to trek Multnomah Falls.
We took our hour long drive with little breaks for coffee and checking some natural joints that we often pass away thinking we will stop by this place in next visit. And we seldom stop. Finally after so many breaks, we reached our destination of the day "Multnomah Falls"


The hike started with a choclate fudge. It was yummy. As usual I got the bigger bite. The historic stone lodge was smoking out the fire-place fumes. The wooden logs burning smell in misty weather is no doubt a point that resembles a sensuous event to remember.
Multnomah falls is best described by its 2 level cascade structure. The view of stone bridge connecting the two segments of cascades is awesome
The ascent of trail started on steps and then the curvy paved path. It was a decent ascent just making us sweat to bear the below 70F weather.
Few stops here and there and quick turns finally bought us to the summit and a descent into the creek that feeds the Falls. The trail continues further and we tought we should turn back.
