Columbia Gorge from Angel’s Rest, originally uploaded by Unsettler.

Looking west toward Portland near sunset.

Am embarrassed to admit I’d never done this hike before (probably because it contains no fishable water) but it’s only 20 minutes from Portland, can be hiked in 2 hours rt, and has spectacular views. I should have brought back more good shots than I did.

My trail buddy, whose usual role in my photography is to photo-bomb me, made a good subject here. Near Catherine Creek on the WA side of the Gorge.
