It’s no secret that I love the Pacific Northwest. One of my favorite things about where I live, are the seasons. I’ve lived in places with 2 seasons (winter and summer) and 1 season (75 degrees ha!) but I really do love seeing the physical change. It gives you personally, a chance to change, reset, reevaluate etc. It’s a good reminder to apply internal change as well.
As you know, I am a Naked Juice Contributor. Their challenge to us this month was get outside and explore Fall in our area. I was happy to except this challenge! I wanted to showcase the Pacific Northwest but also Autumn in general. So D and I decided to do a hike I’ve highlighted on the blog before: Dry Creek Falls.
I love this hike because it’s not too tough, but it’s also HUGE payoff with the stunning waterfall. So take a peak at my previous post during spring at Dry Creek Falls, then check out the pictures below. Fall you really clean up nice.
I highly recommend getting out into the Gorge soon to have a fall hike. The leaves are INSANE right now. It’s really a beautiful sight. As if you needed reminding 🙂
Thanks again Naked Juice for sponsoring another post + sending tasty juices to keep us refreshed on the hike. I hope you all get outside too!!
Love,

The colombia River Gorge is one of my favorite places in the country! I love going to explore there! I'm trying to convince my husband to relocate us up in Oregon in the next couple of years!

Usually when I think fall I think pumpkin patches since the fall color here doesn't quite match up to some of what I've seen on the East Coast, but even without the color the feel and smell of an autumn hike in the Gorge is wonderful
Rachel says
You're right! But it was still So stunning!
create/enjoy says
Gorgeous photos! Sounds like a great hike, we've been meaning to do more of them out east!
Rachel says
You need to! It was great to be outside and not a long drive!
Claire C. says
This looks gorgeous! I need to get to the PNW sometime soon, never been!
Rachel says
Thanks Claire! It was so beautiful. Definitely worth a trip!
Geoff says
Okay, that place looks . . . slightly gorgeous. Hehe . . . GORGE- eous. Get it?!
I'll stop now.

What a beautiful hike! I definitely prefer places with 4 distinct seasons as well, California only has about 2, arguably 1.5. I miss waking up to the snow!
Naked Juice is my favorite, and I love how they have some more smoothie-esque drinks and some more liquid as well.

That looks like such a beautiful hike! I love to pack along Naked Juices when I hike, too. That way I can feel like I'm getting a bit more than just my water gives me. Great write up!
