Multnomah Falls & Bonneville Dam

Scotty and Emily came up for a week in July, while they were here we had a lot of fun and many adventures.
The second day that they were here we went up to Multnomah Falls. I love going up there it is so pretty. We went up to the second bridge in the photo below and took in the view. The water was not flowing as hard this time around from when we came in January.

Here we are by the sign as you enter the falls.

We also went a little further down the road to the fish hatchery, it was pretty neat to see. I think I have been there before but I can't remember so it was fun to take the kids there. And see the different size of the fish as they grow. There were some pretty big fishes there. The kids were also able to feed the fish and it was fun to see the fish kind of jump up to get the food.
Then went a little further down the road and saw a fish ladder at the Bonneville Dam. It was fun to see how the fish try so hard to make it up the ladder and how the ladder is diverted from the path of the dam. It was also fun to see the turbines, brought back memories of when I was a dam worker when I was 19 years old. It was a fun trip.
