the hike was way beyond my hiking abilities yet I made it there, barely. the view was totally worth it and the light was amazingly beautiful. Oregon has a lot of waterfalls with not much hiking required, yet we chose this one to get the medal for surviving incredible hardship and pain.

Oregon is experiencing local super bloom, it’s really beautiful and briefly passing. Carpe diem!
Hiking was definitely number one cool thing that happened over the last four weeks. Nature is giving so much without asking for anything in return. I feel like it’s a great lesson. I’m so blessed to be in the Pacific Northwest, with all the natural wonders of the United States presented.
