With a choice between high temperatures inland or cooler weather on the coast, I chose to drive up the coast of California and Oregon before turning eastward to Portland. From there, I explored two big islands, Bainbridge and Vancouver, and a few smaller islands, Denman, Hornby, Swan. Thus, I have MANY photos of water!

Sharon, my very favorite hike is on a forest trail to a waterfall with a sunset as the “cherry on top.” đ
