The Perdition Trail - June 2009
The way to Perdition
The worst part: Since it was raining so heavily we didn't take any photos until we reached the top of the old stairway (we didn't want to hang around in there in case something decided to move!) We scrambled up this gully, you can see the remains of the stairway below.

Looking back to the other side of the gully
Temporarily lost!
On the trail heading East, looking West. The standing dead trees are the remains of the 1991 Forest Fire that first closed the trail & burnt the first wooden staircase.
The old railroad tie stairs are still in pretty good shape under the wildflowers. Some of them still had anti slip rubber tread on them!
Appraoching the Multnomah Falls Lookout

Looking down on the Multnomah Falls parking area.
The Shady Creek footbridge was still in very good condition.
Looking back at the Multnomah Falls View Point from above Shady Creek Falls.
Some great trail stonework
Couldn't find any refrence to these falls so I'll call them Perdition Falls for now!
A tight spot.
Almost through, down below us & on the other side of hte creek is the end of the Multnomah Falls Trail & the viewpoint over the falls.
Back on Legal Ground!
Mission Accomplished!
