Columbia River Gorge - Wind Surfing Capital

We continued to Cascade Locks KOA where we spent two days. On Saturday we spent the day exploring the magnificent waterfalls along historic highway 30.  Rick and I walked the trail up to the top of Horsetail Falls, which is a 176 ft. falls what is fed by springs.  Bettie and Sandy enjoyed the view and the spray from the falls.

The next stop was Multnomah Falls which plunges 620 feet from the top to a basin at the bottom.  It is the second largest falls in the United states and is probably one of the most photographed falls in America.  Bettie and I hiked to the top which was well worth the climb.  We could see for miles across the river gorge. 

That afternoon we traveled to Hood River and were treated to a surfing show extraordinaire.  We saw men wind surfing and kite boarding.  What a intriguing experience; it was fascinating.

Sunday, we traveled to Prineville, OR, and will be joining with the Schmiedts to travel to Redmond.





It has been a great trip full of spectacular sights!
