Latourell Falls

Latourell Falls was a gorgeous waterfall that had the distinction of being the closest major waterfall of the Columbia River Gorge to the City of Portland. It possessed remarkable overhanging…

Horsetail Falls

Horsetail Falls was another one of the really easy waterfalls to visit within the Columbia River Gorge. Perhaps the hardest part about a visit to this waterfall would be finding a parking spot…

Wahkeena Falls

Wahkeena Falls sits just east of the Bridal Veil exit on the way to Multnomah Falls. Like many other waterfalls in this gorge area (let alone the state), there’s a bridge…

Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls offers a pretty quiet experience as this two-tiered waterfall requires a short but pleasant walk to see. It sits unconspicuously beneath the Historic Columbia…

Shepperd’s Dell Waterfall

The Shepperds Dell Waterfall would probably escape the attention of many visitors if not for the signposted bridge and attractively rugged gorge right below it…

“On The Waterlogged Oregon Trail” (Oregon – March 27, 2009 to April 4, 2009)

Before we got deep into the white stuff (without chains), we decided to turn around and call it a defeat. So we wouldn’t see neither Koosah nor Sahalie Falls as I had feared…

Sedona Itinerary – March 12, 2009 to March 15, 2009

This itinerary covered our long overdue visit to Sedona as an extended weekend. My ulterior motive of basing ourselves in Sedona was to finally visit the Grand Falls. Aside from this waterfall, everything else was just icing on the cake…

Grand Falls

Grand Falls, when it’s on like it was when we were there, is one of the most attractive waterfalls in the US (let alone the American Southwest). What makes this proclaimed 181ft waterfall so…

“Lukewarm” (Sedona, AZ – March 12, 2009 to March 15, 2009)

…this trip seemed like it wasn’t meant to be because there was predicted bad weather (funny how the forecast gets worse after you make the booking last week) and Julie wasn’t feeling well…

“Unrecognizably Different” (Switzer Falls – March 7, 2009)

It has been about six years since our last trip to Switzer Falls. Back then, it was during a disappointingly dry winter so the falls itself was disappointing despite it being February…

“Failure To Be The Early Bird” (Sturtevant Falls – March 1, 2009)

It was a little before 9am when Mom, Julie, and I left the parents’ place for Sturtevant Falls. In my heart, I wanted to leave earlier, but with a combination of a long week of work…

“All About Timing” (Tenaja Falls and Ortega Falls – February 21, 2009)

I was getting a bit tired of stopping at some unknown pullout, getting out of the car, inspecting the scene for Ortega Falls, getting back on Hwy 74 without getting in an accident…

Tenaja Falls

Tenaja Falls is one of those waterfalls that might not seem like much to people outside the Southern California area, but considering how 150ft waterfalls are quite rare here and that…

Ortega Falls

Ortega Falls was one of those waterfalls that eluded us back in our earlier days of waterfalling. Apparently, we didn’t follow directions too well because we almost gave…

Santa Barbara and Solvang Itinerary – February 13, 2009 to February 14, 2009

This was a very brief Valentine’s Day weekend overnight trip to Santa Barbara. This city has long been like a little weekend getaway spot for us, but tried to capitalize on the fact that we were in the middle of California’s historically rainiest month…
