For my travel blog I thought I would show all the waterfalls we saw while vacationing in Oregon.
These waterfalls were all located at the Columbia River Gorge scenic highway. The gorge area is famous for its waterfalls 77 of them on the Oregon side of the river. A few of the waterfalls could be seen right from the road.The waterfalls are all located within 15 miles of each other.
Multnomah Falls is 620 feet for both the upper and lower falls. The footbridge allows visitors to cross 105 ft above the lower falls. You can actually see a lot of this waterfall from the scenic road. Multnomah is known as Oregon's prime waterfall attraction and is the most famous.
Oneonta Falls, Oneonta Gorge. This Lower Oneonta Falls can only be seen by walking upstream from the Columbia River scenic hwy.
Bridal Veil Falls is a 2.2 mile roundtrip hike from the trailhead on the Columbia Gorge scenic hwy. The trail climbs to a wooden lookout with a view of the falls.
Horsetail Falls is 192 ft and is located right next to the Columbia Gorge scenic highway.
Wahkeena Fallsis a 1.1 mile roundtrip hike from the scenic hwy. It is 242 ft and is a tiered falls. Some of this waterfall can be seen from the road but for the best view you take the walk. The name Wahkeena comes from the Yakama tribe and means "most beautiful".
If you are ever in the Columbia River Gorge area you should definitely visit some of these beautiful waterfalls.

I would like to get "massaged" by these waterfalls.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are breathtaking !

Gorgeous! I love the view of the moss in the final photo . . . wonderful area to hike I imagine!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteDo your pictures justice and turn off Lightbox.
One Fly, what is lightbox?
DeleteDisabled it allows a viewer to click on images twice each time making them bigger. Personally for the most part think this feature is a huge negative. Give it a try -
ReplyDeleteClick on design - top right
Click on settings - left side
Click on posts & comments - below settings
On the page third down - Showcase images with Lightbox ? Click no
Save settings -top right
Thanks, I will give it a try.
DeleteIt works correctly on the top picture but have to find another elsewhere. There are many posts allowed on the page.
DeleteI see yours seem to get big just once. Some blogs are different. The way pictures are uploaded makes a difference sometimes as well.
ReplyDeleteI did re-size the photos, that could be why.
DeleteProbably - mine all work and I don't do that. I like to take close look at picture most of the time. Another thing I like about this is that it's so quick.
DeleteCurious if you are going to reciprocate with a link back to my place?? I've linked to you for a looong time.
DeleteSorry, it linked up now.
DeleteThank you Eileen!
DeleteBreathtaking!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any of these falls in years. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful waterfall shots! I wonder how many falls are called bridal veil. lol
ReplyDeleteHoly cow!! The falls we have here don't even compare! They're just a trickle compared to these. Green green green:)
ReplyDeleteWOW! They are all so beautiful, especially the iconic Multnomah Falls. I'd love ot see them all one day in the futur. Oregon is truly a lovely state.
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen, i love waterfalls whatever they may seem like. I even took a small Flood Falls to pacify my need to see one. OMG that river has 77 falls, amazing! You are so lucky to picture so many, and they are all marvelous. I already saw one of them in George and Betsy's posts.
ReplyDeleteIt's an awesome landscape Eileen but I reckon your photos do it justice. A hard hike I guess but ultimately worth it.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive photos!
ReplyDeleteWow..what magnificent falls you've captured! They are so gorgeous, and marvelous looking!
ReplyDeleteWow, Eileen. You really did some hiking while in Oregon. Bud got to do a bit while we were on Baimbridge Island, but I was usually the babysitter. We adore Oregon and hope to return one of these days. All of your waterfall captures are beautiful. Wish I had been there along side you all. Such a nice post. Thanks for the visit. genie
ReplyDeleteGood shots of the waterfall. It's lovely to stand so near the waterfall to feel the breeze that comes along.
ReplyDeleteBetsy and George are going to love looking at these pictures. They're gorgeous Eileen and I do hope I get to see them one day. Always looking ahead to that trip back to Oregon.
ReplyDeleteWhat of the best travel spots I've ever been too.. quite hard to leave. Enjoy..
ReplyDeleteWow, you don't have to travel far to see a host of waterfalls. Multnomah Falls is always my favorite and you captured it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI love waterfalls and can almost hear the water cascading as I sit here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We drove the Columbia Gorge Hwy so many times over the years (family lived in Eastern Washington where we're originally from and the Gorge is the only way really to get from Eugene OR area to there)... but we never tired of seeing these Falls, even though we didn't always have time to do the hikes. Haven't been there now for many years as our parents are gone...it's been long enough now that I'd like to travel the route again, just as a tourist.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of waterfalls, I'd love to visit that area one day.
ReplyDeleteEileen I gave you a Liebster award I know you have many followers but I so love your blog . Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteThere's an awful lot of water in Oregon
ReplyDeleteDearest Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWow, What GORGEOUS waterfalls☆☆☆ I just amazed to know that there are so many water falls at the Columbia River Gorge!!! I just wish I live close to YOU(*^_^*)
