Multonomah Falls -- part #4

CLICK to enlarge and read more about this Falls.

This is a stairway to go to the Lodge, restaurant and information center.
This and the next photo are in a display inside -- enlarge to read.

This sign tells about the fish and birds in area. I almost got some neat shots of a bird but a car came by and scattered them before the camera shutter could close.
I took a photo of this sign because we have one almost like it just a few blocks from me on Hiway 99. It honors our armed forces. . .
Enlarge this photo to see the stone work that made this fountain! I think it is fantastic!
This and the next photo is Multonomah Creek. . .
The bridge takes you back to the parking lot. That's the end of the tour of Multonomah Falls but there is one more waterfall we saw coming tomorrow.

Multonomah Falls -- Part #3

Multonomah Falls -- part 3

The text on this sign is very interesting about fires in the area and the metal netting they have installed to keep burning items off the trails.

Sign for name of trail I walked part of up to the top of the waterfall.
You can see some people coming down the trail I walked part way on. . . they are heading towards the bridge.

Waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge -- part 2

and now this is Multonomah Falls --There are too many photos to put in one more post so I will divide them up into 4 days of posts. Please come back and see more each day. I wish I had had the time to hike to the top but our driver gave us only so long and I didn't know how long it would take me. NOW, I wish I had just gone anyway--we had plenty of time and we got back home two hours earlier than we were expected. I hope maybe I can go again someday with people that like to hike but am grateful that I got to go see this much at least. Part 1:

CLICK on the sign to read information about the falls.
This is a commemorative sign to the Oregon Pioneers who had the foresight to make this site available to everyone instead of just a few. It was a public attraction for all long before it became a part of the national park system.

Getting closer with a sneak peek at the falls. . .

The sun was very bright!
YOU have arrived! At least, for a first time almost full view.
Close up of the bridge . . .
Full length view of Multonomah Falls from top to bottom or bottom to top!

There is much more to come as I get closer and walk over the bridge and a walk little up the winding path closer to the top. Please drop by again tomorrow for more. This is not the last waterfall either. Ü
