This winter has been a delight for the snow-lover in me. Hundreds of inches have fallen on Mt. Hood - creating magical forest scenes and a winter wonderland to discover. I've embraced dreary rainy days in Portland knowing that rain in the city means snow in the mountains - at least for now.

The Tamanawas Falls hike is one for all seasons. I've seen it in the fall and late summer but never winter. I was eager to see it dressed in snow and ice.
