On Labor Day we hiked up Multnomah Falls which is just outside of Portland, Oregon.
We noticed the signs as we began the hike and I blew right by "switchback 1 of 11," however, I decided that it was cruel and unusual punishment to keep reminding me that I was not there yet. After more than one mile and 11 switchbacks.... looking down on the parking lot and out over the Columbia River ... it was worth the trip.
