On our long, overdue vacation to Oregon, I seen the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. The ones you only get to see in pictures. Yeah, those.
Here is a picture of a waterfall that we hiked down to. This picture doesn't even do it justice. The trees line the top the ledge, and at the right time of day, the sun will peep through the trees causing an angelic view of this place.
I have to admit, it was a very steep incline, and the thought of having to go back up this mountain was a bit intimidating, but I made it.
If you ever get a chance to visit Oregon, you have to go and see at least TWO waterfalls while you are there. The views are simply amazing.
If you fly in to Portland, be sure to look for Mt. Hood from the plane. It's a beautiful mountain, and I found the best view I had of it was right as we were departing Portland.
The air in Oregon is so clean and the water is so clear. You can't even imagine this type of scenery if you've grown up in a place like Texas your whole life. I must say, this was the first time I've ever seen fern growing and not cut and arranged in a pot or basket. It grows there like weeds grow in Texas. And, the environment is so perfect for nature that you will actually find trees rooted in to rocks and even older, dead trees that have fallen over or somehow lost their top half.
SIMPLY AMAZING!
