Chasing the Mighty Multnomah: Waterfall Wonder Day

What started as 'just a quick look at the waterfall' turned into an all-day photo expedition as Mom's camera battery outlasted everyone's patience! The magnificent 620-foot cascade hypnotized us into climbing 'just a little higher' until we found ourselves at the very top viewpoint, wheezing but triumphant. Dad's impromptu geology lecture attracted a crowd of confused tourists who politely nodded along despite his increasingly questionable 'facts' about lava tubes and ancient river gods. The day peaked when a rainbow appeared through the mist, causing such excitement that three smartphones nearly went swimming in the lower pool during the ensuing photography frenzy.
