Today we explored the beauty of Portland by hiking two of its most popular trails to see Punch Bowl Falls and Multnomah Falls. Each hike took a good 2-3 hours and we were nice and hungry after each one. Thankfully, there was always good food that awaited us afterwards.
At the start
We heard some splashing sounds from the water...turns out salmon were spawning.
A cool bridge
The narrowest, scariest trail I've ever walked; it didn't help that it was damp from the rain from a few days before.
Made to Punch Bowl Falls...there's the "upper" in the distance
And here's the "lower"
I had to climb over a few rocks to get this angle, but it was worth it.
Enjoyed some nice cold brew during lunch at a nearby brewery
Our second hike at Multnomah Falls was a bit more steep, but not quite as scary
Selfie at the top of the falls
Interesting caterpillar we almost stepped on on the way down
Well deserved cocktails
A feast for three for $50; needless to say, we were happily stuffed.
