Today’s day-tripper was the Mt. Hood loop. Something I even haven’t done yet. We headed to the beautiful gorge with stops at Multnomah Falls, Bonneville Dam fishery, City of Hood River (where we had our first lunch), and then up around the backside of Mt. Hood through the valley of plentiful fruit orchards up to the snowy mountain top at Timberline Lodge (for our second lunch).

For some reason I happened to be looking up frequently at the lodge, where I captured photos of light fixtures, wood beams and artistic panels.
