Waterfalls on a Rainy Day



As we approached the fourth straight day of rain, we decided to get out of the house and be in the rain (do as the locals do).   We decided the waterfalls would be a great place to explore on a rainy day.


We started at Wahkeena Falls which was just stunning.  Everything in Oregon is just beautiful, "weather" rain or shine.


Wahkeena Falls up close



Next we hiked to the more popular Multnomah Falls, about a half a mile up the road.  The hike itself was just breath taking with its rainforest like feel to it and the brilliant green colored moss dripping from every tree and rock.  


Love the Moss!  Felt like we were in the movie Twilight. 


The kids making good use of their raincoats.



Absolutely spectacular!!  


Everyone was actually facing the camera and smiling.. However there is some kind of cloud or something over my face.  Like from the movie The Grudge.


Another Twilight-like view of the beauty that surrounded us.




Hiking up to the bridge for a closer view of the falls.



We made it to the bridge.  So so so pretty..




This was our view in front of us...


And this was our view behind us.  A successful day in the rain for sure.
