Multnomah Basin

Total recliner hike! Made a new trail friend, got together again with an old trail friend, and just enjoyed a nice walk through the rainy rainforest. Multnomah Canyon must be one of the more under-appreciated stretches in the gorge. Seems it's often an "issue" of getting past the tourists, but if you really slow down and enjoy it, you remember just how stunning it is. Looped around the basin, took in the ornaments, lunched on the veranda at Nesika, returned past Cougar Rock, and even took a quick spin in the old 1931 Buick. Fun day! :-)

Karl, that photo of you, payslee, and friend driving the Buick is awesome, with a beautiful backdrop! Looked like a nice hike and a good choice for a damp winter day in the woods.

Thanks, Ben! That's a must-have shot for any excursion up there, isn't it? New trail friend is Woodswalker! Was really a pleasure to make her acquaintance on a trail just made for that drizzly sort of day.
