Rooster Rock

Yesterday we packed a picnic and headed out to 

Rooster Rock State Park with Matt, Amelia, and Layne.

Here is the rock that caused all the fuss:

 and here is Orin enjoying the picnic.

The park was pretty typical as parks go,

 with standard features such as grass to crawl in

and trees to climb.

After Rooster Rock, we decided to venture further into the gorge

to Bridal Veil Falls.

After playing around the waterfall,

we finished up the afternoon with a trip to Multnoma Falls.

Multnoma is the most visited of the gorge waterfalls,

attracting hundreds every day because 

it is the second highest year round waterfall in the U.S.

and, more importantly, because it is the only trailhead 

that has an ice cream stand.

Orin has since decided that Multnoma is his favorite waterfall.

We have decided not to question his reasoning.
