Multnomah Falls

Janel and I went to Multnomah Falls today. It is the 2nd tallest waterfall in the 48 states that does not freeze year round, and is ~45 minutes from our place. It is a really touristy place at the base of the waterfall (one of the most popular destinations in all of Oregon), but there is also some good hiking there as well. We were planning on doing a 9 mile loop trail that checks out a lot of waterfalls and also has some nice vistas, but about 2.5 miles up the trail we ran into some nasty ice and could not go on. I want to get Janel a pair of crampons ... but she does not seem to interested in this plan :P. We did have to deal with some ice before it got really bad ... Janel decided that the best way to deal with the ice was to fall on her butt and slide down the trail :). Check out the pictures in the photo gallery!
