Base of Horsetail Falls
We were suffering from cabin fever and wanted to travel. Finally got a good weather forecast for the Hood River area (sunny, high 50s), and found a great hotel deal so we loaded up the car and dog and were on our way. Of course, the forecast never materialized; the weather was pretty bad at first - very dense fog and temps in the 30s, not 50s, but it slowly got a little better. The temps never got as high as we hoped but Heather toughed it out. We visited some new waterfalls, stopped at some old favorites, and also made it to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. On the way home we noticed that NE Oregon is loaded with mountains that we need to check out. We're going to be very busy up here!
I took these photos in January 2015.
