8.5 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
One of my friends is recovering from a knee injury and wanted to still get an easy hike in, so seven humans and three dogs set out today for a wee little adventure in the Gorge. We wandered up the Multnomah Falls trail and continued along, finding the Christmas Ornament trail unexpectedly and hanging out for lunch under cover of one of the porches at Nesika Lodge. The temperature at Nesika Lodge was about 15 degrees cooler than down at the falls...we didn't stay long. There was also sign of recent snow, though nothing to be worried about...just a few sprinkles here and there. It started raining as we headed back up the trail...however the sun decided to show itself by the time we got back to Multnomah Falls. All in all, a great day of hiking, even though I forgot my camera!
