From the ocean to the mountains...

My two weeks at Honeyman State Park were up.  A few last pictures of the coast

and it was time for the inland areas.  Milo McIver State Park is located near the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood.  There are a number of waterfalls that drop over the edge of the gorge to flow into the Columbia River.  With the cliffs facing north, the sun can't reach the face of the falls.  The most one can hope for is to see the edge of the drop back-lit by the sun.

The most well-known of these is the spectacular, 600 foot high Multnomah Falls.

Viewed from the side, the lower falls are framed by the vegetation that is constantly bathed in the mist from the upper falls.
