2nd Hike on Day 5 of the Columbia River Gorge. More people now and the parking was almost full. Plus it's 1 day shy of the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend so people are starting to filter into the Gorge more.

The Hike was pretty straightforward and only 1 of 3 Waterfall Hikes I did, where you actually hike DOWN to the waterfall and hike back up to get out. It was a nice change although I still like getting the uphill out of the way first. Beautiful 2 tier waterfall and creek. After hiking back out, I did the Overlook Trail for some views. Not picture perfect due to another gray day in the Gorge, but it was a nice trail and nice views. And then it was on my way to my last hike of the day.

Just a few more stops in the PNW.

Shepperd's Dell is closed due to uphill instability caused by the Eagle Creek Fire in 2017. You can still see it from the road, and it's a pretty nice one.

Bridal Veil is another nice waterfall, but the lighting made it really challenging to get a good photo. Many of these falls along the gorge would look great with fall colors and some good lighting. I'm sure they've been beaten to death though.

There's a nice interpretive trail at Bridal Veil that swings out with great views over Interstate 84, uh, I mean the Columbia River and the CRGNSA. Definitely worth a stop if you're driving by and haven't previously visited.

Mild wooded hike down to the series of waterfalls below the roadway. The trail begins paved, but once you reach the bench it switches to dirt and begins to decline. Mid-day sun and clearing overhead made for hot-white reflection off the watefall, although the creek below is well shaded and an easy walk-day, making it a fun spot for little ones to romp.

Easy hike to another cool falls. We hiked the loop with the gorge viewpoints too.

One of my favorite falls to visit in the Gorge. Such an easy hike and its rarely crowded. I love the pool at the bottom of the falls.
