This is an unusual winter for us here in Oregon. Lots of snow and ice and persistent temperatures below freezing. We have been having some thawing the last couple of days, so we headed down to Silver Falls State Park one day, and up to the Columbia Gorge the second day. Did not go to all the falls in either area due to closed trails and/or very icy roads. Also stopped at a viewpoint along the Columbia River for some views there.
