In our first Unsplash Expedition in Portland, we hiked to Trillium Lake in the Mt Hood National Forest. It was a lot of fun to hike to and walk on a frozen lake with fellow photographers, even if the weather wasn’t the best.

Tamanawas Falls, a spectacular hidden gem, nestled in the foothills of Mt. Hood, having driven past many times, we decided that we should finally take a look for ourselves at this majestic waterfall. After a 2 mile hike, the stop was well worth it, and the absence of people added even more to the pristine and beautiful falls that met us at the end of the trail.

My family friends invited me to come with them to Lost Lake near Mt. Hood for a weekend. I decided to take my camera with me and find any shots I thought were cool. As the day was dying down, everyone went to bed and I sat there into the morning hours watching the flames wave back and forth with the breeze. I love this shot as it makes you feel like you are in the warm embrace of the fire, filled with energy.

We were driving from Portland down to Bend and we were really excited to pass by Mount Hood. Once we got a a nice view of it from this angle I knew that this one would be my favorite shot I took of it. This was shot from the highway just off side of the road.

Abiqua falls is difficult to reach. First, you have to reach the middle of nowhere. Then, you take a thoroughly messed up “road” on foot or by car. Finally, you have to scramble down a hill, and about 1/4 mile over rocks next to a river. At least you reach Abiqua. Yeah, it’s worth it. This was by far my favorite waterfall I’ve ever experienced – go if you can do so carefully! The best waterfall experience was followed up with a pretty strange one: a group of people decided to take up target practice with rifles next to our car. This area isn’t a part of a park so it’s unprotected.

This is one of the oldest hydroelectric plants in the world, located in Oregon City, Oregon, on the Willamette River. I love old industrial places--especially when they're still in operation. Fun fact: This is where the first long-distance power lines in the United States--outside of Thomas Edison's Menlo Park--were installed, carrying electricity to Portland.

Had a three day weekend so I went out to Salem with a few friends to explore the Silver Falls State Park, which did not disappoint. Snapped a few pics, and this one really turned out.

This is the view from the Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. Right before the sunset, the city’s skyline is at its absolute best with Mount Hood with all its glory. I know there are many many versions of the same photo on the internet but who cares. It is a beautiful view that deserves the fame.

Yesterday we took a trip out to Smith Rock State Park to soak in Oregon’s High Desert. It’s the perfect outdoor adventurer’s playground with sheer cliffs made up of volcanic layers of basalt and tuff with the Crooked River cutting it’s way through the canyon. Climbers enjoy this area, and there are many trails for easy to moderate/hard hikes.
