2014 Elowah and Upper McCord creek waterfalls

Last week I took my kids on a short hike to see two waterfalls.  How for the hike was just perfect, short and simple. The Elowah Fall was .8 miles and the Upper McCord Creek Fall was 1.1 miles. The terrain was not too steep for the kids to hike, on the Portland hiking website the waterfalls trails is consider or rated as an easy hike. 

We made our way to the Elowah fall first, then we went to the Upper McCord Creek fall.

In order to see the upper McCord Creek fall you have to access a steep canyon to get to the base of the waterfall. Where I was able to take a selfie and I do not take my kids along with me on this hike. As a stay above the creek playing.
