Early bird gets the waterfalls without the tourist traffic!

This is a cross post. Sign up for this ride on NW Butts on Bikes:

Join me on this classic waterfall ride. Temperatures are forecasted to moderate by Friday.
With the Scenic Highway closed at Larch Mtn, we will start our ride at the Bridal Veil Falls parking lot. By leaving early we avoid much of the tourist traffic.

BE READY TO RIDE AT 8:15 AM.
IMPORTANT: Take exit 28 off of Interstate 84, but Do Not park at Angel’s Rest. Continue west on Hwy 30 a mile or so to Bridal Veil State Park. Look for my red Honda CRV.
We will first ascend to Crown Point, 4.4 miles/656 ft elevation gain.
From there, we will reverse back down Hwy 30 past several waterfalls to Horsetail Falls.
We will regroup at Crown Point and at Horsetail Falls.
You can continue on beyond Horsetail if you choose, return to Bridal Veil parking lot, or do a second climb up to Crown Point, adding about 10 miles/748 ft to the posted version below.
Optional coffee/Italian Soda/snacks at Rivertrails Cafe in Troutdale after the ride.
Be sure to check the GPS if you have not done this route previously. I am posting the short version below.
