It would definitely be more of a challenge if you have a strong fear of heights.

Way better than our view the day before from the Astoria Column.<br /><br />We unfortunately couldn't do the hike we wanted to do either on the other side of the gorge. Old Historical Highway 30 is closed to the east of Multnomah Falls and the whole falls area because of the forest fire from last year. They are still working on the road and they have also closed Ainsworth State Park and all the hikes nearby. We were able to see Multnomah Falls through from the parking lot on the I-84. Looks like we will have to make another trip to the gorge itself and plan to spend a lot more time here in hopefully better weather.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-27759755825159353972018-11-02T16:33:52.273-04:002018-11-02T16:33:52.273-04:00Ottawa is also having a lot of rain.

We've had a few days of rain, sometimes pounding rain, and it's getting to be a bit of a drag. I showed your pics to T.C. and her first response was, "What if it breaks?" (that was the "trail" going up) I suspect I'd be on my own for that one.

We visited the Columbia River Gorge in late August and despite some smoke from BC fires, we enjoyed the fabulous views from various points on the Oregon side. Just a beautiful river gorge we hope to return to again and see the falls as there was road work when we were there requiring you to take a shuttle. Having a 110 lb dog prohibited us from that adventure. Continued safe travels!Tina C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04963260790865922111noreply@blogger.com
