North Falls
North Falls is perhaps the second most popular waterfall in Silver Falls State Park primarily because of how relatively easy it is to access. This one exhibited a more or less…
Ponytail Falls (Upper Horsetail Falls)
Ponytail Falls is kind of like a “Mini Me” version of Horsetail Falls. That’s because this waterfall also features the strange hourglass shape and dual chute profile feature…
South Falls
Despite its rather unimaginative name, South Falls was probably the one waterfall in Silver Falls State Park that seemed to us to have the most notoriety amongst the park’s ten main waterfalls…
Middle Oneonta Falls
The Middle Oneonta Falls was one of four waterfalls on the Oneonta Creek within the Oneonta Gorge. It got the name “middle” because there was another waterfall immediately downstream…
Triple Falls
Triple Falls was definitely one of the more distinct waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge area. While most of the falls in this waterfall-rich area could be all similar in appearance with…
White River Falls (Tygh Valley Falls)
White River Falls (also known as Tygh Valley Falls) is a gorgeous and powerful multi-tiered waterfall within the rainshadowed Tygh Valley southeast of Mt Hood. The falls provides…
Wahclella Falls (Tanner Creek Falls)
Wahclella Falls (also known as Tanner Creek Falls) is one of the relatively lesser known waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. To get to it, you have to do a roughly 2-mile…
Punch Bowl Falls
Punch Bowl Falls (sometimes spelled Punchbowl Falls) was perhaps the main attraction of the Eagle Creek Gorge. For such a modestly-sized waterfall at 30-35ft, it was a very popular waterfall…
Elowah Falls
Elowah Falls was another one of the distinct plunging waterfalls situated in John B. Yeon State Park more towards the eastern end of what we perceived to be the “waterfalls area” along the…
Metlako Falls
Metlako Falls is the first main waterfall on Eagle Creek. Due to the steepness of the gorge, your view of the falls is rather distant from a lookout that hugs the nearly…
Starvation Creek Falls
Starvation Creek Falls probably doesn’t quite get the publicity that other essentially roadside attractions get in the Columbia River Gorge area. Perhaps it’s because most visitors…
Horsetail Falls
Horsetail Falls was another one of the really easy waterfalls to visit within the Columbia River Gorge. Perhaps the hardest part about a visit to this waterfall would be finding a parking spot…
Latourell Falls
Latourell Falls was a gorgeous waterfall that had the distinction of being the closest major waterfall of the Columbia River Gorge to the City of Portland. It possessed remarkable overhanging…
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls offers a pretty quiet experience as this two-tiered waterfall requires a short but pleasant walk to see. It sits unconspicuously beneath the Historic Columbia…
Wahkeena Falls
Wahkeena Falls sits just east of the Bridal Veil exit on the way to Multnomah Falls. Like many other waterfalls in this gorge area (let alone the state), there’s a bridge…
Multnomah Falls
Multnomah Falls is easily the Columbia River Gorge’s most famous waterfall and could very well be the state of Oregon’s prime natural attraction. While our visits here have constantly shown…
Shepperd’s Dell Waterfall
The Shepperds Dell Waterfall would probably escape the attention of many visitors if not for the signposted bridge and attractively rugged gorge right below it…
