Elowah Falls Spring Hike

Our second hike today was to Elowah Falls (213 ft) a 1.6 mile hike with a couple hundred feet of gain/loss. This can be a longer hike, including Upper McCord Creek Falls for a 3.4 mile hike with 660 ft of elevation gain. This hike is off of I-84 just east of Multnomah Falls.
 The trail starts with a gentle up grade in the woods.
 Then descends down in a series of switchbacks to McCord Creek.

 We saw lots of bleeding hearts and other wildflowers along the trail
and some Calypso Orchids.
