Lower Oneonta Falls, Oregon 7/8/12

Columbine add color to the trailside
 From Portland, drive East on I-84 to exit 28 (Bridalveil), go East about 5 miles on the Historic Columbia River Highway to the Oneonta trailhead.  Take trail 400 to trail 424.  After about 1 mile, take trail 438 (Horsetail Falls trail)
down to the bridge where the falls are located.

Penstemon are also blooming now (the flower to the left is an invasive weed, Herb-Robert)

At the bridge, a view down to the Falls

A brave puppy crosses the bridge over Oneonta Gorge

Lots of big trees shade this trail - cool walking on a hot day
At the end of the day, a vivid sunset
