One more Halloween

Halloween

Multnomah Falls - Columbia River Gorge, OR

I feel the need for some explanation on this post. We did a hike that took us up to the top of the falls - the falls is something like 650 feet high, but it took us a mile of hiking to get up there. Eleven switchbacks! It was some pretty steep hiking. Plus, the trail had mostly no rail or anything, so, on one side you would see rock wall or trees and the other side...steep dropoff! In a couple of places the trail had crumbled away and only one person could go on it at a time (there were people hiking up and down on the same narrow trail).

I am sure I'm exaggerating the danger, but I am somewhat scared of heights and I just had to force myself not to think about all the things that could go wrong! (That's just the way my mind works!) Anyway, the view from the top was worth it - when you see the pictures from the top, take a look at the parking lot down below and see how tiny the cars are!!

Not even half way there! (above)

This one (above) is looking down from the top!

It made my heart drop into my stomach to peek over this railing. Pics don't do it justice!

Mt. Rainier - it's not often you have clear enough days to see it!

It's the Wizard from Deadliest Catch!

Capilano Suspension Bridge, North Vancouver, BC

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but this was a very high, wobbly bridge that was kind of scary to walk across!  We all did it, though!
