Just finished a big week of concerts and spent yesterday racing from a sunrise in Laguna Beach out to Death Valley for a sunset attempt. I was tempted to get right into processing those shots, but I thought I would pause and take a look back first at my ever growing backlog of photos. I still have quite a pile from my trip up to the Columbia River Gorge from last May, and Spirit Falls was definitely one of the big highlights of the trip. A big shoutout again to Ryan Engstrom without whom we would have never found this particular set of Falls. To this day, I have no clear idea where these falls were located other than they were on the Washington side of the gorge. We were racing against the clock as our daylight was disappearing fast and suddenly Ryan yelled for us to pull over at a non descript pullout. From where we pulled over, we could hear no sound of running water, and off to the side of the road there was simply a jumble of boulders and scraggly looking trees. We all thought Ryan had lost it at that point. But trusting Ryan, (who had been pretty reliable so far), the four of us plunged over the ravine, and the spot Ryan led us to was easily one of the most gorgeous locations I've ever seen.
Our time shooting down there was very short, but I definitely want to return there soon. I just hope I can find it again on my next visit.
