Another early morning hike proved worth the effort for Andrea and me. This time, we tackled Angels' Rest and Wahkeena Falls. This one was far more difficult than Eagle Creek, even though the hiking book describes it as moderate, and Eagle Creek as difficutlt! We had fun though, and saw some great scenery without any crowds. In fact, we may very well have been the first ones up the trail this morning.
The day didn't start out well. It was raining, and raining a lot. However, when we saw the radar picture on the news, we noticed that there was no rain east of Portland. So we headed out, and sure enough, we didn't see a drop for the entire hike! A good day for my first trip to Angels' Rest.
We got home, and crashed out. We were both exausted. Even Kirby was lying down most of the rest of the day. Kirby is a dog that can just go and go, but today, he didn't even have the energy to beg cookies (which Andrea made after we got home and cleaned up). Kirby was also not nearly as dirty as the last trip, so I got a picture of him with his person.

Hey Nate,
I've hiked Angels Rest before. It's a great hike! The view from the top is beautiful. One time it was so windy it almost blew us over and the other time it hailed on us. That was pretty sweet!
You found the waterfall!!! Good job there Nate! You should get a merit badge or something... Have a great day...

The dog has more energy then a dog should have......
