Columbia Gorge, OR

While seemingly anti-climatic when compared to other local monsters such as Multnomah, Wahkeena or Tunnel Falls, Wahclella Falls exhibits a great level of beauty, and is by far one of the most powerful waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. The falls consist of two tiers, dropping 48 and 79 feet repectively out of a very narrow gorge, plunging into a large pool at the head of a massive basalt amphitheater.

The falls are accessible by hiking an easy 2 mile out-and-back trail through a slot canyon.
