Day Two

After stopping at the visitor center and dropping off some outgoing mail at the Post Office, I met up with Lou & Shannon to hike Bear's Hump. The trail isn't long (1.5 miles), but it's quite steep (711 foot elevation gain). Living on the Oregon coast, I'm no longer used to the heat, so I took in the view at every opportunity while catching my breath.

After our hike, I walked to Cameron Falls, which is a short distance from the campground. Getting my second wind, I decided to wander around Waterton Village, as well.

  1. You can see a lot from the top of the hike, wonderful! Great perspective to see the whole area and the geology. A great visit to the town. Gorgeous.

    1. Susan, the view from the top of Bear's Hump was fabulous. We spent some time just relaxing (catching our breath) and taking in the scenery before heading back down.
