Tryon Creek Orgins 05/04/2012

Barry and I went on a walk to find the Tryon Creek origins.  We parked on Multnomah Village.

Here's in the Capitol Highway Viaduct.

It was a bit rainy but we waited and chose the perfect time to go.  We crossed the viaduct.

This is where we think the origins of Tryon Creek start.  Tryon Creek comes from a springs which is on private property.  This is the closest way we figured it came out, around SW Spring Garden and 37th.

Tryon Creek starts small traveling though culverts in back yards but it incorporates and number of smaller streams and creeks as well as the natural runoff from the valley.

 

Here Tryon Creek is has picked up steam.

Here Tryon Creek and Falling Creek merge.

 

Here we are right by Marshall Park and then it continues on to Tryon Creek State Park and then into the Willamette.
