Multnomah Falls/Oregon/July 2008

On our way to Portland, Oregon still on I-84 going West between
Oregon and Washington State we passed beautiful "Multnomah Falls".
Where we had reservations in Portland was only 17 miles back to the falls. The next morning we drove back to Multnomah Falls and had breakfast at the chalet and stayed enjoying the falls and all the shops.
This is just beautiful.

Still On the Road to Oregon/Washington State/July 2008

Talk about some beautiful country. These are taken along the Columbia River between the border of Oregon & Washington off of I-84 on the Oregon side

We left Spokane, Washington and went I-90 down the southeast corner of Washington. We picked up I-84 across the border of Oregon & Washington on the Oregon side. These two pictures were taken off I-90 in Washington.

On The Road To Oregon/July 2008

These were taken at Coeur d' Alene, Idaho where we stayed at Coeur d' Alene RV Park before going to Spokane, Washington

We stayed on I-90 across the top of Idaho to Spokane, Washigton.

Leaving West Yellowstone on Hwy. 191 North, we picked up I-90 West in Montana. As you can see this is beautiful country. The pictures do not do it justice.

Mammoth Hot Springs & Geyser Basin in Yellowstone/July 2008

These pictures are taken at Mammoth Hot Springs.

Surface water seeps underground, is heated by a deep source of magma, and rises as superheated water. Hot Springs have no constrictions, so water rises, cools, and sinks. The small amount of water in fumaroles flashes into steam before reaching the surface. Mudpots are acidic hot springs with limited water.

These are midway, lower and upper Geyser Basin. There are many of these through out the park and on our way to Mammoth Hot Springs.

Back To Our Trip in July 2008/Yellowstone Nat'l Park

This is Obsidian Cliff, a national historic landmark in Yellowstone.

This is scenery in Yellowstone on our way to Mammoth Hot Springs. Beautiful, beautiful place.
