Sunday, cloudy. 9 of us walked the
Ten Falls Loop. About 7 miles, minimum elevation gain. Part of the trail was ribboned off, in case of slippery ground (when it's cold, the water blown off of the falls can make the ground icy). We walked over the first ribbon at South Falls, after much debate among ourselves. A minute later, we encountered a ranger. Fortunately he okayed our action.
This is a delightful and easy loop. South Falls, Middle North Falls and North Falls, you can walk behind the curtain of water. Double Falls is small, but quite elegant. The park itself has some good timber lodges, now in holiday decoration.
We had a late lunch at Oregon Garden. I didn't care for the food, but a Frank Lloyd Wright's building
Gordon House, which was painstakingly moved from Wilsonville to this location.
