Mt. Hood Scenic Loop

Currently Barbara and I are staying at the Mt. Hood Village RV Resort with our friends Glen and Kathleen. Barbara and I stayed here last year and really like the area. There’s so much to do in the area. Kathleen really wanted to see nearby Multnomah Falls so Barbara and I suggested that the four of us do the Mt. Hood Scenic Loop which includes Multnomah Falls. So yesterday the four of us along with Toby took off on a very enjoyable adventure.  

We started out by adding one of my favorite places in the area, Trillium Lake. I love this place as it never seems to disappoint with the amazing view of nearby Mt. Hood. From there we headed northeast to Panorama Point in the town of Hood River. From Hood River we traveled west through the Columbia River Gorge, which is breathtaking on its own, to the Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery. The grounds at the fish hatchery are very impressive. We capped off our day with a stop at Horsetail and Multnomah Falls.  

During our adventures yesterday I think Toby walked and ran close to 50,000 steps. I figure he takes about eight steps for every one of ours. He slept most of the day today. As usual I took lots of photos and have posted a few below.

One thought on “Mt. Hood Scenic Loop

  1. The blues and greens are so bright. Is that a filter on your camera or are those true colors. Either way, beautiful pictures.
