to explore

Oregon’s waterfalls arise where rivers cut the Cascade and Coast ranges, the Columbia River Gorge’s basalt cliffs, volcanic plateaus and glacial valleys, and the coastal bluffs, with far fewer falls in the high desert east of the Cascades. Trails are mostly moderate forested canyon walks and ridge hikes with many short family-friendly paths and occasional remote backcountry scrambles, and the mix of volcanic geology and lush, mossy forests gives Oregon unusually varied waterfall settings.
