Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area contains the highest concentration of waterfalls in North America. This collection features world-famous landmarks like the 620-foot Multnomah Falls, alongside geological gems along Eagle Creek and the Historic Columbia River Highway. Visitors can observe diverse formations, including columnar basalt cliffs at Latourell Falls and natural amphitheaters. Many sites, such as Horsetail and Ponytail Falls, offer trails that pass directly behind the cascading water.
