While Lori went for a run, Mia, Anya, and I hiked up the Multnomah Falls trail. We made it up a bit less than a mile before turning back.
After Lori returned, I headed back up the trail (starting at 3:08 pm). Felt SO good starting out from basically sea level. The paved trail here is quite steep, and it felt like nothing running up this. Legs and lungs felt great powering up this trail. Inadvertently took the spur out to the top of Multnomah Falls, but it was nice to see that. Then onto the beautiful singletrack, past some more waterfalls, under the HUGE trees. Just an awesome run! Passed a hiker at a trail junction (road 315?) maybe a mile or so from the summit and hiked with him for maybe 5-10 minutes before pushing on. Otherwise, ran most of the ascent. Dropped into the parking lot on the way up, then continued up to the summit at Sherrard Point. Ran back down over the SW summit, skipping the parking lot. Then worked pretty hard on the descent. Amazing running in the woods here!
