these falls are about 20 minutes outside of portland and they are the third tallest water falls in the world. They are over five hundred feet taller than Niagra falls. Having woken up early on tuesday morning to leave Olympia for Portland, we were happily surprised to find such gorgeous nature a mere moment from the city center. Energetically we hiked the mini trails to the scenic views--yes that's right, Leslie did her first HIKE! This fabulous aspect of life in Portland, OR can be attributed to foresight in city planning with placed an urban development line around the city so that Portland could not progress outward and destroy the natrual beauty as the city grew. Kudos to those who thought of that!
