The old Columbia River Highway starts its waterfall run about twenty minutes from Gresham. First up is Latourell Falls, 224 feet tall, where a loop of 2.4 miles and 620 feet of climbing collects the upper falls too. Half a mile of walking earns 120-foot Bridal Veil. Coopey Falls demands more, 4.8 miles with 1,500 feet of gain. Willamette Falls at Oregon City works the opposite direction, the river pouring over a 40-foot horseshoe below an overlook. Ninety-one falls sit inside the circle, dogs allowed nearly everywhere trail data exists.
