Portland Mercury: The Falls of History and God

26 06 2014

In my first article for the Portland Mercury I encourage people to visit some of the area’s waterfalls for more than just their inherent beauty. From the article:

“Some waterfalls are more than just pretty places to visit. While the opportunity to prance around in a forested scene straight out of a Kinkade-ian masterpiece is typically inspiration enough to seek one out, sometimes you want more from your experience. Luckily, there are a number of waterfall hikes in the Portland area that dangle alluring carrots of added interest, like “fascinating regional history” or “a chance to commune with a faith-based deity.” So for those of you who need a little extra motivation to get your butt outside and next to a beautiful waterfall, here you go.”

If you’ve followed this blog for a while or know me personally, then it’s probably no surprise that this particular cascade is Picture of the Week again. I made a trip to my favorite waterfall this week to get the GPS tracks for the forthcoming Hiking Waterfalls in Oregon guidebook I’m currently putting together. Here’s a shot from the trip.
