| no partners | | Headed out to Tillamook with Melissa and hit up University Falls along the way. I have been thinking this would make for a fun easy rappel and she was game to give it a shot.
After a very short intense bushwhack through the creek we arrived at the top of the falls. The water was running very low, we anchored off a tree DCR and rappelled off the top. Since the flow was so low the descent was completely dry, save for landing in a calf deep pool at the bottom. 200' rope was just the perfect length and we had a small group of spectators watching at the bottom. This would probably make for a good winter or early season drop when the falls are flowing better. Afterwards we grabbed food in Tillamook and drove up the coast before heading back to Portland. |

| no partners | | Wow- it has been WAYYY too long since I have posted on this site! Time to get back to it and document some Oregon hike descriptions!!!!
I Headed out towards Tillamook for the first time and took the scenic route through Tillamook National Forest. Explored several dirt roads in the area and stumbled across the trail to University Falls. Definitely worth the time to explore and its a nice alternative to the Columbia Gorge. It was pouring all day and there were waterfalls everywhere! |
