Our two latest long walks
Last week we did another 10 miler, this one the one that was planned for that week, unlike the surprise 10 miler of the week before.
We stopped on our way to Bend and walked from trailhead to trailhead on the Old Columbia Highway, which runs parallel to the Columbia (and now I-84) above the river. It was a nice walk, very pretty, not too busy, and the weather was great.
Today we did a planned 11, ended up being 11.72, on the Palouse-to-Cascades rail-to-trail trail that crosses a good portion of the state east to west. We'd taken a bit of it a few months back when we went to Cedar Butte. We walked and walked and at one point, the trail split. We took the right. Apparently, the restroom was to the left. So, the way back was kinda miserable because I had to go pee. The rain for the last hour didn't help either. It took a long time for me to warm back up. I did manage to eat a bit... 22 gummi bears and one bite of dh's PayDay bar. I hope I'll be ok on the day of the half.
Some photos from both walks under the cut.
Above the Columbia River. Check out my pretty purple backpack!
Palouse to Cascades trail.
Boetzke Falls. They're a lot higher than they look!
Change Falls. Same. A lot higher and they continue under the bridge we were on. Hard to capture with the camera!
