We will pack up Sunday morning and get a moderately early start from our lodgings, aiming to be at the main Multnomah Falls parking lot (about 15 minutes from Cascade Locks) by around 8am. We'll then take the short trail to Wahkeena Falls, climb up from there to Angel's Rest, and as long as we're making good time, continue on to Devil's rest. Then we cross over to upper Multnomah creek and follow it down, past multiple lovely plunges, back to our cars. Be sure you're up for a fairly long day on Sunday, especially if you are driving back to Seattle afterward, if you sign up for this hike.
