Trails

We are so lucky to live where we do. Last night Brian and I left for the Banks-Vernonia State Trail and were able to bike about 16 miles before dark. It was so beautiful. The trail follows an abandoned railroad bed that stretches 21 miles between Banks and Vernonia. Tons of beautiful trees, farmland, wildflowers, trestle bridges, deer and no one else in sight. The sun set, moon came up, and we finally made it off of the trail as it was getting dark.

Day trip

It was a wet and wild day in the Gorge. Multnomah Falls was our first stop and the rain was coming down sideways. Ben was a trooper. We then made our way to the Bonneville Dam and Fish Hatchery. He loved watching the fish!

He kept calling this huge sturgeon the "Grandpa". The photo below is one of the trout ponds.

On the way home we took the scenic route on Hwy 30 and saw several other water falls. It was gorgeous even though very cold and rainy! The photo above was taken at Crown Point - it was so windy!
