Three years being in the same place in US, we did not know that this Oneonta Gorge is pretty close to us. Also this is a place which is just next to another place which we visited "N" number of times. As you know Oregon is famous for water falls/bodies due to extensive rain and the climate.
Oneonta Gorge is a place where you can discover another side/style of a water flow. It was exceptionally beautiful and as the name itself tells that its Gorgeous. We kept seeing this gorge's photo in our own office and the most funny thing is that we thought this place is somewhere in South America(in Amazon river area).
It is just 70 miles away from us:)
Finally after seeing a video about Portland, Oregon we caught this place and decided to visit there. it was a challenging trip as we started crossing some heavy logs with freezing water flowing along. Thank god that the logs were formed in as order as if they are designed for us to cross. We may be the only people under the planet to do that adventure without any footwear. Believe me, the water was freaking freezy. Come on, there is no adventure if you go with proper equipment:)
However we crossed the logs and able to reach a place where wanted to go. It was a big gorge with water flowing from the top of the hills. In summer, we could surely walk in all that gorge way. I think "breath taking" is the right term here to explain how we felt there.
Some of the photos for you to feel jealous....
Hold on, before the photos, see the Portland(Oregon) video first and check the place between 1:24 and 1:28. Thats the place we went.
