A Guide to Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls
The Columbia River Gorge offers an abundance of beautiful waterfalls. At one point on the Cascades Highway they are literally every twenty feet! You couldn't possibly stop at all of them in one day but these are my favorites and in my opinion, the best to stop at.

Latourell Falls Trail
Latourell Falls is a short but sweet trail right off the highway. Plan for a quick stop here but it has stunning views.

Rattlesnake Ledge
Rattlesnake Lake is one of the beautiful lakes we have here in the Pacific Northwest. The lake offers a day use recreation area with a boat launch, beach, picnic tables, walking trails, swimming and a hiking trail. At the very top of this mountain there is a beautiful ledge overlooking the lake and its views are astounding. This trail is perfect for our upcoming beautiful summer weather.
