My mom, sister and brother-in-law are in town and I wanted to take them on a beautiful and simple hike after we visited Multnomah Falls. Multnomah Falls is gorgeous but the hike to the top is steep and not for those who don’t hike steep trails frequently.
Further down a few more exits is Wahclella Falls. It’s an easy hike with lovely forest views and a trail along the river. It’s only about a mile before you arrive at the end and it opens up to a large pool of water and a spray of mist.
Today I went hiking on the backside of Hood Mountain. It was a gorgeous hike along a river through trees and a small quarry. You can hike all the way to the falls and if you are nimble enough, climb behind them to really enjoy the spray.
This is such a pretty park in the SE part of Portland. The trees are large and block most of the road noise and houses. There’s a medium sized duck pond and an off leash dog park.
I received a call from a good friend; his cousin wanted to get married the coming weekend-could I shoot the ceremony? Of course! It was a small gathering, and their most special guests were their family of dogs. (I am sure some of you can relate!)
We met in one of the parks in Sellwood. They wanted to be surrounded by nature, so we had the ceremony near a small pond surrounded by trees. After, the dogs ran free near the river and they celebrated with (so Portland!) Voodoo Doughnuts!
Congrats to you both! Thanks for letting me be part of your big (little) day!
