These are classic Oregon Waterfalls! Cameron and I came down the path thinking, another waterfall, really, when we spotted this powerful force of nature-it was like God was pouring water down the mountain straight out of a humongous pitcher. Spectacular! We looked at each other as if we were the first to discover this awesome waterfall. Then to top it off, we wandered down the path and considered turning around because we were freezing form the mist coming off of the river and waterfall, and I said, "Let's just go a little further." And there a little further down the rocky canyon was Koosah Falls-leaping again off of the cliffs. The river was so deep it was the color of the ocean-can you see the blue in the picture? Face it...you all need a trip to Central Oregon!

Dee Wright Observatory
Cameron and I just got back from a fun day of sightseeing and hiking in the Three Sisters Mountain Wilderness Area. It was so beautiful and totally unexpected-the waterfalls were breathtaking! The Dee Wright Observatory had the mountains framed in little windows in a tower made from the lava flow. Great idea-you could actually tell exactly which mountain you were looking at-I may learn which mountain is which, yet!

Tumalo Falls
This creek is where Bend gets its drinking water, no wonder it is so good. This is one of the prettiest waterfalls I've ever seen. So fresh and clear. It was an easy drive just outside of Bend. From downtown Bend, from either Wall or Bond-go west on Franklin, which then turns into Riverside, which then turns into Tumalo, cross the river, then Tumalo turns into Galveston, continue on Galveston through two roundabouts, then Galveston turns into Skyliners Road.
To make a long story short-Bend is crazy about name changes on its roads.

Up on top-so cool!
