After the redwoods, we booked it through Oregon to Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Southern Washington. We had camping reservations with Mia and Terry, which meant we would finally get to meet baby Penny!
S was immediately smitten with Penny and wanted to be close enough to touch her the whole time.
Penny's first 4 mile hike, all the way up to Falls Creek Falls.
Parker looking up at the awesome 335 ft. high waterfall.
Papa Terry at the bottom.
The Gifford Pinchot National Forest sits adjacent to Mt. St. Helen's National Monument. It was awesome to see it so close, and also to imagine the power of the last eruption in 1980 which blew 2,000 ft. of rock off the top.
S & P spent their camping time building fairy houses, creek stomping, balance bike riding, playing with other kids, fawning over Penny, and not sleeping.
Next stop...Portland!
