Even though it was down stream, it was never easy or routine for them.

Today’s travels show the variety of scenery on the Washington/Oregon State lines. A variety of terrains, vegetation and uses in just a relatively short distance.

One of the most beautiful water falls in all of Washington. These falls are the only remaining major falls created by glacial floods 15,000 years ago.
