Our Family went on a 5 mile hike to Triple Falls. We started the hike at the Horsetail Falls trail head and made our way behind Ponytail Falls and then cross the bridge over Lower Oneonta Falls. Then Stephen and Kent hiked down a very steep secret trail to the hidden "Real Oneonta Falls" and our final stop was Triple Falls.

Elowah & Upper McCord Creek Falls Trails

From the trail to Upper McCord Creek Falls we had a breathtaking view of the Columbia River, Hamilton Mountain and you can even see Mount Adams off in the distance. The island in the river on the Columbia is still under water from the flooding we had this spring.

There are so many amazing hikes in the Columbia Gorge it is hard to say which one is our favorite, but this trail to these two Waterfalls has to rank right up there as one of the best.

The Columbia River is overflowing, these pictures are taken at one of our favorite beaches along the river.

A visit to Kristie & Devin's home in Issaquah Washingnton





While visiting Kristie and Devin at their new home in Issaquah they took us to see Snoqualmie Falls. This is the most visited waterfall in the State of Washington. Matt was home for the weekend and made the trip with us.
