Willamette Falls with Mt Hood by hjbenson

Willamette Falls with Mt Hood

we drove out to Troutdale today/ On the way we stopped at the Scenic View area on Rt. 205 overlooking the Willamette Falls. You can also see MT. Hood from here, but it was a little bit hazy today, so the mountain is not very sharp Best Viewed Large.

Gorgeous! We lived for two years in Cascade Locks, not too far from Troutdale. I miss the green, but not the 80" of rain a year we got to keep it that way! :)

My wife and I spent a night in Troutdale on our honeymoon 25 years ago before traveling up the Columbia River Gorge.

I was thinking that Autumns Eden is in the area but I may be remembering wrong. She maybe a NoCal girl that went on a trip to Oregon....And now that you called me on it, I am drawing a blank...I will try to remember
