My oldest kid is in town for a bit and she's always up for a hike, so yesterday we headed over the the Mt Hood National Forest and hiked about 2 miles up to Tamanawas Falls.
Tamanawas is a 110-foot lava cliff waterfall on Cold Spring Creek. It's just 20 minutes outside the Tourist town of Hood River, Oregon on the flank of Mt Hood, and due to the slight elevation gain (about 300 feet) and the well traveled trail, this is a popular hike. We got there around 9 and there were only two cars in the parking lot :D
It was a pleasant hike along the creek, with small rapids and tiny falls along the way, then we came around the corner and got our first view of the falls.
Once we got to the falls we put our water bottles and snacks down and tried to get as close as we could because, as humans, that's just what we do, right? xD
My daughter found some rocks that traversed a pool and led to a little peninsula of land that let you walk closer to the falls.
I got this close :)
After exploring all we could without wading into the creek, we went back and sat on a log to eat some snacks and enjoy the tranquility loud, constant pounding of water on rocks.
This next snap has some folks in the foreground for perspective. The guy in the tan shirt is walking across the same rocks.
Soon after I took that shot about 6 people showed up, which was our cue to beat feet back down the trail. We saw more folks headed up as we descended and when we got the our car the lot was almost full of about 15 cars.
Here's a different #perspective of the trail...
All in all it was a wonderful morning with my daughter 😃

Nice waterfalls you can see that it is a nice place as I like the water is very cold for sure, I would take a bath for a while.
I felt the water and yes, it was quite chilly. No bath for me :)

Cool. Nice drop of the phone….
Thanks! !PIMP
Jenn wants to go to Crater Lake National Park by you. We might be making a trip out there. She said only when it’s warm out….🤦🏻
HAAAHAHAHA! There is about a 10 day window where it's warmish at Crater Lake xD
Seriously though, that would be awesome. I've not been yet, always wanted to take the kids but it never quite worked out, usually because of the weather 😬😂
I'll cobble a post together about Crater Lake this week with all the info.
When is it warm there? So I can tell her
!pimp
NIce waterfall and also awesome bonding time, I hope to have this type of connection when my kids grow up =)
!PIMPThanks @gwajnberg. I'm sure you will!
What a gorgeous location! Splendid shots! 😃
Thanks Kitty 😊 Living in a river valley next to a mountain affords me so many wonderful locations like this. So grateful.
Have a !PIMP #hummpday
