Mesa Falls

Today we went to Mesa Falls! It was really cold but the view was beautiful. We had a lot of fun getting here in the snow! Here are some pictures from today, enjoy!

This is Upper Mesa Falls. It is part of the Snake River. 114 feet high and 200 feet wide. 600-1,500 cubic feet of water per second flows over the falls. That is 387 million- 967 million gallons of water per day!
This is the water flowing out of the falls down to Lower Mesa Falls. It looks so pretty with the snow and ice. It is very different in the summer.Nick and I in front of Upper Mesa Falls. It was freezing outside so I wore his sweatshirt. I don't think I will give it back, it is very comfy!
So we saw this random guy trying to jump off the edge. Don't worry, we stopped him.....

....only to see him trying to jump from this ledge later on!



These are my grandparents, they are visiting from Vancouver for Thanksgiving along with my dad and my uncle Clyde. They made it to this lookout of Upper Mesa after a walk through the snow and down some slippery stairs.



Smile Clyde!


Nick and my dad.


More Thanksgiving adventures to come!

We LOVE Mesa Falls. You should have Nick take you to the old railroad tunnel on the other side of the road (totally worth seeing).

Hey Nick and Katelyn, I think the last time I saw you two was at your wedding reception in Sweet Home. Anyway I found your Blog on Britany's Blog. I have been living in Bend the last 3 years and next week we are moving to Idaho Falls. We should get together sometime.
