Multonomah Falls is the #1 tourist destination in Oregon, but due to Covid-19, it was closed during our trip. However, we found another waterfall to explore which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Tamanawas Falls trail is 3.4 miles round trip that took us along the Cold Spring Creek to the 110 foot tall falls. We saw many people climb up the slippery rocks to climb into the grotto behind the falls.

On our way back into Hood River, we stopped at several of the farm stands that are part of the Hood River Fruit Loop. First, we bought cherries and corn at the Draper Girls farm stand. Next, we went to the Hood River Lavender Farm. This is a beautiful farm nestled in the rolling hills next to a winery with views of both Mount Hood and Mount Rainier. The Gorge White House was our last stop of the day and was such fun! It’s a pretty spot with a cute farmhouse, farm stand, picnic area for wine tasting, and a u-pick farm. We took several pails and headed into the fields to pick our own blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. They were delicious!
