Columbia River Gorge

Last weekend, Mae and I decided to get out of the city for an afternoon and made a trip out to the Columbia River Gorge about 30 minutes outside of Portland. The gorge is home to a number of incredible waterfalls and associated hikes. We visited Multnomah falls (pictured first) and hiked a trail at the neighboring Wahkeena falls. It felt great to get outside, and we were both thankful that the rain held off for the duration of our adventure!
