Easy trail, good for all levels of hikers. And that is probably true. Afterall the three of us made it to the falls and back. But I got to tell you....after doing all the easy paved trails we have done....this one was a lot different. Especially the sections that were really rocky. Bunions do not like walking on rocks, let me tell you.
So the trail goes up and then down to the falls, which means it is up and down to go back. I'm sure the falls are more spectacular when there is the normal amounts of rain water throughout the year. We did get misted as the wind was blowing pretty good. The littles enjoyed it.
After we got back to the car we decided to head over to Multnomah Falls. Naturally the place was packed. We got ice cream cones which were the highlight of our day. At both places the littles had to put their feet in the water. There is something about water and feet in my family.
And then we headed home. Well just west of the Multnomah Falls are the Wahkeena Falls and it looked so much more awesome than either of the other two we stopped at. Next time we will stop there. I just didn't feel like another stop and trying to find parking.
We had a little mishap. My littles have no fear and I don't go out of my way to instill a lot of fear in them. I'm going for independent kids. So she runs ahead. And every so often I let her know she needs to stop and wait once in awhile. Let us catch up. So she gets ahead of us again on the way down. Next thing I know I come around a corner and a woman wants to know if I'm looking for her. Well yes I guess. We got a warning about safety. Oy. Alls well that ends well. But honestly there is no way I am ever going to keep up with her or him. All I can do is go for independence and knowing what to do if something happens. So again I reiterate to her about not getting too far ahead because dang it....someone might steal her and I wouldn't know for a bit and that would be bad. There we go instilling that fear.
