We first went to Trillium Lake to get a good view of Mount Hood, which was so beautiful to see the reflection in the lake. There were so many people on the lake kayaking and fishing, so we just hung out taking in the scenery for a bit - wishing we had our own kayaks. Then we decided to go on a hike to Ramona Falls, which ended up being 9.5 miles roundtrip. This to date has been the longest (consecutive) hike I've ever done. It was a challenge but for the first time, maybe ever, I'm starting to feel progress in my endurance - but only by a little haha. I was worried we wouldn't be able to complete the hike because we kept seeing signs posted saying we would have to cross the river because the bridge was no longer there. I was mentally prepared to turn around if the river was high because it is very dangerous to make a maneuver like this when there is rushing water and you can't see your footing on the rocks and trees below. Luckily the river was low enough that we were able to walk across some fallen trees over it without having to get wet.
