Multnomah to Wahkeena falls hike

Yesterday, my god brother, his wife and mum and I went hiking from Multnomah Falls to Wahkeena Falls. It was a pleasant and visually breathtaking, 5 mile hike. We hiked very leisurely for 5 hours, spending time admiring the numerous waterfalls that lined the hike and taking photos, dipping our feet in the cool spring waters. It has been a month since my aunt passed so this walk was for her because there was no way you could not love life when you walk in the greatness of the NW wilderness. Here are some green green photos for your Monday eyes:

In all the shades of green, a vibrant red popped out

How was your weekend? Did you get to savor the summer?

Gorgeous walk! Multnomah looks quite different than it did in January. Today's been hot, Bank Holiday so Monday is not too bad at all...
