A few years back a co-worker introduced me to a very short but very entertaining hike in the Columbia River Gorge. Oneonta Gorge is one trail head past the famous Multnomah falls. Even going slow this hike is no longer than 1 hour. So why bother? It starts with a quick scramble over a 10 foot log dam. To get to the end of the gorge and the waterfall you have to wade though chest deep water (which happens to be snow melt, do the math). Needless to say it’s thrilling. The water is brisk and when you get to the fall, it feels as if you can’t take a full breath due to the rushing water in the confined space. Somewhat like sticking your head out a car window moving at sixty.
