Multnomah Falls & the International Rose Test Garden


This is Multnomah Falls, the second largest waterfall in the United States. Notice the bridge that crosses over the upper pool. In 1995 a wedding party was standing on that bridge when a natural rock slide from the upper fall occured. 20 members of the wedding party received minor injuries from flying rock...including the groom who was hit in a rather "unfortunate" location. Too funny!



We also had a change to visit the International Rose Test Garden in Portland. These roses reminded me of the ones used for our wedding. This place was amazing. I have never seen so many varieties of roses in my life. We were amazed to learn that the whole garden is tended to by 1 full-time gardener (I imagine that's a dream job) and 2 summer volunteers.
