There are a lot of waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. Googled them. Sorted them down to four that did not require steep hikes:
Latourelle Falls
Multnomah Falls
Horsetail Falls
Starvation Creek Falls
Went to the first one. Darn. The parking lot was full and people were circling, clogging up the road, lurking for spots. Not for us. We got through the traffic backup and went to the next one.
Darn. Same thing.
Okay, there is a pullover in the center of the freeway going eastbound for the next one. From there we can walk through an underpass and see the falls. Oops. The parking lot is so full, they closed the exit.
One hope left, 20 miles east, away from the most popular spots. Starvation Creek.
Pulled into the parking lot. 10 cars. Looked around. 4 people. Cool.
Nobody actually starved at Starvation Creek, but they did have a grand adventure.
A short trail to the falls.
But wait, a short walk down a trail to another waterfall. Cabin Creek falls.
Another stretch of trail to Hole-in-the-Wall Falls.
Jesse took a selfie while we were there.
A good waterfall day.
Deschutes River State Park for the night.
Morning view.
Sweet.
