Oneonta Falls

My friend Bruce and I took the short trek up the Oneonta Gorge a few weeks ago (the blogging has been too irregular again).  This is such a unique location, one that should be visited if you are around the Portland area and enjoy the outdoors.  After climbing over a 40 year old log jam, it was roughly a half of a mile hike through this narrow gorge, and in one spot late in the summer, still waste high in ice cold water.  I may have shrieked, I don’t recall.

I was amazed to first see this water fall.  It is so tight at the front of this gorge,  and is so simple and so beautiful.  Since it is in a tight spot in the Gorge, there are not many original photos that can be taken here.  But I poked around and tried to get some good compositions, before my fingers turned blue and I couldn’t press the shutter anymore!  I had a great time out in this gorgeous spot with Bruce, and I’m sure I will get back some day for even more.
