120/365 Moulton Falls

In late summer in Portland you view each warm sunny day as a gift A gift you want to grab fast knowing autumn and the rainy season could be here tomorrow. Saturday was one of those days, so we decided to try a new hike and went to to to Moulton Falls.  I can't believe I've lived in here for almost 9 years and I've never found this spot.  Beautiful and peaceful, with several easy waterfalls all in a short 2 mile hike, you can picnic, swim (in ice cold water if you dare), explore an old train station, and traverse some cool footbridges.  All this, just about 30 minutes from home...nice.



Someone created a large peace sign from rocks in the stream that runs from the falls....natural graffitti.

View from one of the bridges over the falls.  Liberty was pretty nervous crossing since she could look down through the grate on the bridge.

This railroad was built in the 1800's to transport logs.  The tunnel goes through the cliff.  It had no supports....just a hole blown in the rock.
