This is where we went to take our engagement photos last year. This waterfall reminded us of a waterfall we visited in Iceland and so we thought it was fitting for our photos. Please be aware that it is very steep to get down to this waterfall. Definitely bring good shoes.
If you're up for a bigger adventure, there is a great hiking loop that lets you see Wahkeena Falls, Fairy Falls, Ecola Falls, Wiesendanger Falls, Dutchman Falls and Multnomah Falls. We recommend parking closer to Wahkeena Falls and finishing near Multnomah Falls. Multnomah Falls is extremely popular, has lots of tourists and the parking area near it fills up very quickly.
This lighthouse is just north of Oceanside. We went here to take engagement photos. It give you the vantage point to see the woods backing right up to the Oregon Coast.
A great winery, with amazing wine and fantastic people who run it.
Hood River is a super cool town with tons of activities to do. You can go paddle boarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, go cider tasting at one or many of the Hood River Cider Distilleries, or even enjoy a great cup of coffee at Stoked Roasters. Hood River has a completely different climate from Portland and the Coast. It is much drier, much sunnier, and usually has some wind.
Mt. Hood offers skiing and snowboarding even in July. Check out the website and see if you'd be interested in hitting the slope while you are out celebrating with us.
