Elowah Falls, also called McCord Creek Falls, is a 213-foot waterfall on the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah County, Oregon. The waterfall is formed as McCord Creek is forced into a narrow channel by sheer cliffs and shoots at high velocity into a natural amphitheater of layered basalt. Lichens and mosses are very common, covering up to eighty percent of the ground surface under and around the vascular plants (source: Wikipedia).
This was another waterfall which I had on my list when we visited Oregon the first time. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were not able to make the trip but this time we marked it as a must have and it was totally worth it. Plus we also got the falls all to ourselves as this is not as popular a hike as the waterfalls closer to Portland.

Here, another album begins.
This album is from my travel to Western National parks of USA. It's was on November, 2016.
This trip was made with a Spanish travel agency (www.banoa.com).
We began in Montana with Yellowstone National Park and we visited 17 national parks, crossed 7 states and drove more than 7500 km until to arrive at San Francisco.
It was a great experience and a fabulous trip.
Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas.

A fairly standard presentation. There was a little more water movement than I would have liked, but I don't think it spoils it too bad.
