A hike and brew, or from starvation to libation!

Our hike to the waterfall at Starvation Creek started right near the campground, and followed the old Columbia river highway, with the new highway and train tracks below. Intrigued by the name, we were glad to find an interpretive sign; it explained how in 1885, a train headed to Portland in late December ran into a 25 foot snowdrift, and the crew and 146 passengers were trapped for 3 weeks while the train was dug out by hand!
We found a rather narrow steep trail right up to the falls, close enough that you could enjoy the spray - lovely on a hot day!
Later in Hood River we got to Full Sail Brewing in time for the 4:00 p.m. tour, which of course ends in the tasting room, aka the pub. We had dinner with a couple from Calgary who were also on the tour, and enjoyed ourselves.
The brewery is an independent, employee owned one, and they try very hard to be sustainable: the glass bottles are recycled, the cardboard boxes are reused, and the spent barley mash is picked up by Tillamook Dairy and fed to their cows.
