Oregon - Day 2

We got up and ate at a Bagel Cafe and headed out for the day. This was our drive. Trees everywhere and so green.
We stopped at Crown Vista House for a beautiful view. The weather was cloudy and in the 60s. James was a trooper and went up the steps.

From our drive, you could see a ton of waterfalls. We got out several times to get a closer look. The beauty of the falls just blows you away. You could hike for a closer look but unfortunately because of James knee we couldn't . . .next time. This is the first fall we came across "Latoural Falls."
This is the second fall. . ."Wykeanah Falls"
This is the second largest fall in the nation. It's about 620 feet "Multnomah Falls." I walked to the bridge to get a closer look. It was so beautiful.

"Horsetrail Falls"
We drove to the Dam and this was amazing also.
We also went to the fish hatchery where they breed fish.
We went through Hood River and there were several orchards on the way. We stopped and got some apples, peaches, and pears. The best peach I have ever had!! So fresh!
We were told to drive up to Timberline Lodge. We did but weren't very impressed. It was freezing, there was snow on the mountain tops. We had James wheelchair and we could not find where to go. It was very complicated. We decided to turn around and drive back to our hotel. We ate at a wonderful Italian restaurant. We had pizza, sandwich, and manicotti. I was impressed with how well everything tasted. It was so fresh!!
