Solstice Stupidity 2012: time to hike

After Saturday's early-morning trek to the top of Palmer and refueling in Hood River, it was time for Solstice Stupidity Leg #2: hiking the Wahkeena Falls-to-Multnomah Falls loop in the Gorge.

A lack of sleep contributed to some confusion in finding the right exit for the trail head (westbound is tricky!). But we finally got it done and geared up for our second adventure of the day.

The weather was perfect for our hike: dry and a pleasant temp. Some blue sky and sun even showed up.

Next up: the Twlight Run 5K. Stay tuned! :)
