Oregon trip 2007.

We scheduled one final trip of the summer before school started and we chose to go and tour around Oregon. We had a great time! On day 1, we drove up to Redwoods National Park in Northern California and then headed up to Medford OR to spend the night. On day 2, we went to Crater Lake National Park. We had a great time both days even though I was exhausted from driving over 800 miles in two days. We passed by the Rogue and Umpqua rivers along the way which looked like great rivers. I was able to stop for a few minutes and fish but did not have any luck except for a steelhead that I hooked but lost on retrieve. We ended day 2 at Salem. On day three, we did some hiking near Salem to some really nice waterfalls. We then decided to drive to the coast and spend the night in Lincoln city. The coast was beautiful, so green. On day four, we headed north up the coast and stopped in Tillamook and visited an air museum and the Tillamook cheese factory. We were able to watch them make cheese and sample their ice cream and cheeses. After the factory, we continued north into Astoria and then to Troutdale which is just on the outside of Portland. On day 5, we drove to Multnomah falls and hiked up to the top. The hike was only 1 mile each way but was very steep. I carried the backpack and camera and Raquel carried Maya. After hiking the falls, we continued on to Bonneville dam and visited the fish ladders to watch the Salmon and Steelhead head up the Columbia river. We ended the day by going into downtown Portland and eating at a very good Greek restaurant and then on to the motel in Salem. We headed back to Sacramento on day six but not before having lunch at my favorite fast food restaurant, Skippers.
