A Scenic Drive

It was such a beautiful day today that Jason, Ethan and I decided to take a drive on the Historic Columbia River Highway. Our first stop was the Vista House. It's a small building with a balcony to see the view of the Columbia river. Ethan's highlight-seeing a lady in the building with a parrot on her shoulder. The river was looking particularly blue today.

Our next stop was meant to be a trailhead to hike to a waterfall, but we discovered that there were many waterfalls along the way. The next stop was Latourell Falls. There was some funky neon yellow growth on the rocks near the falls.

Next was Bridal Veil Falls.

Then Horsetail Falls. Highlight for Ethan-watching a dog swim in the icy cold water below the falls. It was here that we were going to hike to Ponytail Falls, but we decided that we'd rather enjoy nature at Taco Bell. By the way, I had the best thing I've ever had at Taco Bell (which isn't difficult), the new chicken cantina taco. We'll leave Ponytail Falls for another day.
