The tourbooks say this is the most photographed waterfall in Oregon. I have no reason to doubt them. You have to work really hard to take a bad picture of this place.
As you can perhaps by this picture of the waterfall along the Columbia River gorge, it's a double. There is a pool below the bridge, so the effect is particularly spectacular. It's 620 feet from top to bottom, too big to cram into one picture. This is the tallest waterfall in all of Oregon.
Two million people are said to come visit this beautiful spot, which is located right off Interstate 84. That means that if you are planning on a visit, particularly in the summer time, you might want to go early or late in the day. Parking lots can fill up rather quickly.
With all of this water pouring down a hill in a mountainous area, you might guess that maintenance is needed on a regular basis. Every so often it seems, something needs fixing with the trails or the bridges. Feel free to check the park website to see what the status is at the moment.
This takes a great photo, as my picture here shows. But a video works pretty well too.
