Metlako Falls along Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, taken on this day in 2009. Sadly this viewpoint no longer exists due to a landslide in December 2016, but you can still catch glimpses of it from the Eagle Creek Trail.

McDowell Creek County Park is a little gem between Lebanon and Sweet Home, Oregon. It is like a miniature version of Silver Falls State Park, with four waterfalls and plenty of fall color. This is Crystal Falls on this day in 2006.
