It's been awhile, blog! Sorry for the lack of updates.
Recently, Chrissy and I hiked to Mitchell Point in the Columbia River Gorge. It was a foggy, somewhat chilly day, but hiking the steep elevation quickly warmed us up.
Here is a photo about half way up the hike.

Until next time.

Read MoreThis past weekend, Chrissy and I went to Oneonta Gorge. It's a pretty hidden area near Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge!
There are 6 amazing waterfalls throughout the trails!
On the way to the next waterfall, there was a great lookout spot!
Another beautiful waterfall!
At one point, we found a path that leads to the top of one of the waterfalls! It was really steep to get down, but luckily there was a rope to help you.
Once we got down the hill, we realized that there was a giant dam blocking our path to the top of the waterfall, but we made our way over that too..

After climbing back out of this area, we decided to head down into the crevasse of the gorge. This area also involved climbing over a massive dam of logs, but it was well worth it.
The only area we didn't make it to was Triple Falls. We spent a little too much time exploring hidden areas and the sun started to go down!
We did make it to the road in time to see a beautiful sunset though!

This past weekend, Chrissy and I met our friend Connor in Northern California! We camped in Jedidiah Smith Redwood Forest. The old growth areas of the forest are truly amazing. The trees are absolutely massive, and their bark is so tough, it makes them fireproof!
There always seems to be a patch of fog rolling through some part of the forest. It's very surreal to see massive tress hiding in the fog, only letting a few sunbeams reach the ground.
After a morning hike through the forest, we decided to head over to Smith River and go for a swim!
Saturday night, we found a clearing and watched the stars arrive.
This was the furthest we have made it down highway 101 and the California coast! We're already making plans to drive even further down 101 and visit Connor in San Francisco!
