Rocky Butte and Kelly Point Park

Just some pictures of a couple day trips we took. The first, to check out some outdoor rock climbing at Rocky Butte, about 20 miles NE of Portland. At the top of the hill you could see Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and downtown Portland. The second, an amazing park called Kelly Point that we stumbled upon while taking a drive. The park sits along the Columbia right in the center of an industrial park. Even in the most developed or industrial areas of Oregon, there always seems to be a hidden park. I always find the contrast so incredibly beautiful. Along one side of the park there were several groups of fisherman. We sat here for a while and Brian played the harmonica he just picked up at a local music shop.
