This place is amazing!
I have been taking the last week at a much slower pace. Firstly, I wanted to be well rested out for my friend Nicola arriving to join me today; and secondly, I have started to become much more conscious that my trip is drawing to an end. I want to savour every second that I have left. I used to think that the best way to do that was to cram as much in as you can but I’ve realised that sometimes it’s best to just slow things down!
My original plan was to travel to Seattle via Yakima, which is inland, but I asked my AirBnB host in Hood River, Jenna, if I should go that way or head towards the coast, and she chose the coast. I thus changed my plan, which worked well as I wanted to see the waterfalls along Historic Highway 30 between Dodson and Corbett (they are west of Hood River).
I think it is safe to say that it would be difficult to find a more amazing 13 mile stretch of road. It includes 5 spectacular waterfalls, with associated hikes, and an amazing lookout point at Vista House over the Columbia River Gorge.
I have included some videos and photos below for your enjoyment. I think they speak for themselves.
