We are at Cascade Locks in Oregon, we arrived Wednesday night. On Thursday morning we set off on our bikes to see some waterfalls. This is the bridge of the gods, not sure which gods or how it got its name. The bridge crosses the Columbia River into Washington.
The Historic Columbia River Highway is a bike/pedestrian only trail that follows along the 84 highway. Tunnels bridges and even stairways (they have a well for your tires so you can push your bike)
We hiked a few miles to Elowah Falls
The problem with this is then you hike back out. John was getting pretty tired, the grades were 1/4 to 1/2 mile uphill, his bottom was giving out. He was a good sport...I'm sure his version of this bike ride will be a little more colorful.
This is where John sat while I hiked to the next falls
about 2 miles along a rushing creek, he was happy to just see the picture.
The ride was fantastic (a little long) we left at 9 and got back at 5 and sat in the jacuzzi at the KOA.
Along the way we picked wild berries and ate them on our well deserved ice cream. John went to bed at 7:30. Today (Friday) we are driving up to the Hood River and get a look at Mt Hood. Tomorrow he says he will be ready to hike. Thanks for coming along, until next time, our love. J & S
