Cascade River Falls

It's a great time of year for hiking.  The snow has (mostly) melted, the ground is drying, and the temperatures are comfortable without being hot and steamy like during the summer.  Last week, Barry, Ollie and I took off to view the Cascade River Falls.  An instant gratification hike, the Falls are only a short walk from the roadside.
