Beautiful and massive waterfall that is near Portland, Oregon. There is a parking structure at the bottom which you have to pay and make a reservation in advance since this is a huge tourist attraction and spaces are limited. There is also a shuttle available if you need one. We made the earliest reservation available to avoid heavy traffic. The climb up this mountain is very steep and requires some resilience. There are many viewpoints and trails to walk around in the nearby vicinity. You must walk miles to make it to the top (we turned around), but this massive waterfall is definitely a beauty. Dog friendly and there are restrooms located at the visitor’s center at the bottom of the mountain.

Very detailed wax figures that you can visit up close and personal. Some of the models have props you can use to take pictures of yourself to make it more exciting. There is an option to buy a multi-pass where you can visit both Ripley’s and the wax museum (I’d suggest getting both tickets). There is also a gift shop where you can pick up souvenirs. We spent a few hours visiting both museums and have gone a few times since they do introduce new models as the years go on.
