Gotta see the falls…

Today was the day to drive old, wonderfully curly, scenic route 30 in the gorge. We checked out all of the major falls (Latourell, Wahkeena, Multnomah, Horsetail) and even took a couple little walks for great views and a picnic. We spent some time at Vista House and Rowena point with impressive panoramic views of the river and checked out the visitor center at Bonneville Dam. They have viewing portals into the fish ladder and the salmon are running. It was fun to watch them passing by and to cheer for them to make it past us and on up the ladder.
And, we still had time for one more winery.
The tasters at both of the previous wineries had recommended one other, Viento. The wine maker was very well thought of and actually created the prize winning wines at a number of the valley wineries. Of course, we had to check it out. We enjoyed another fun tasting and found a couple more that we just had to get a bottle of. One could get used to that activity!
