Multnomah fall & Lavender farm

First of all, credits to Chun and Aichee for all the wonderful pictures taken. They are all too beautiful not to be picked to post but I still need to select only a few.

We went for a short tour along the Columbia Gorge National Scenic route.
We didn't stop at all points except for one, Cape Horn. It has a spectacular view of the Columbia river. We were at the west side which belongs to Washington state. The right side of the river is actually belongs to Oregon.

Along the way, we saw many beautiful sceneries, trees and wild flowers. Chun chose a larger chunck of wild flowers and we stopped for some photos

There are many falls along the route. This is the horsetail falls which the water resembles the tail of a horse, very obvious from it's name.

This one is Wahkeena falls which Wahkeena means "most beautiful" in Yakama Indian.

Next is the super famous legendary multnomah fall which to say is the second highest year-round waterfall in US.

According to Chun, the soil in this place is very much special due to the volcanic explosion long time ago. That's the reason it has all the wild flowers species that are not found at any other places in the world.

I forgot what place is this, but the view simply breathtaking. Check out the wall on the opposite side of the river..

Then we drove up to a higher place of the hills.. It is called Vista house which is like a observatory place and comfort station for the travellers. There is a gift shop and espresso bar in the tower.

We managed to drop by the Oregon lavender farm for a quick photo shooting. Purple. I am in love.


Before grabbing our dinner we dropped by Portland waterfront and snapped some photos...

Dinner at Saburo, super big eel sushi. Waited an hour for the food. End.
