6 DRIVE DRIVE COLUMBIA GORGE LOOP Dramatic views of the western gorge from Crown Point and Cape Horn, and of the eastern Gorge from Highway 14.

They re the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge, and they deserve a place on your family s vacation calendar. Vertical basalt walls along the Gorge are graced with the greatest concentration of waterfalls in North America, particularly along the Oregon side of the western Gorge. It s a matter of geology, not coincidence. The ancestral Columbia Gorge was a V-shaped river valley, but beginning around 15,000 years ago (at the end of the latest ice age) a series of tremendous Startt your own story at the place where so many wonderful Oregon family traditions begin.

11 floods swept westward from a glacial lake near the present-day border of Idaho and Montana. These Bretz floods, named after one of the geologists who discovered their traces, ripped the topsoil from eastern Washington and carved away at the valley walls of the Columbia Gorge, leaving steep ramparts and tributaries abruptly hanging in midair. The flood cycles lasted for thousands of years. Many more thousands of years have passed since the last flood, and each winter brought another freeze-thaw cycle, sculpting away the rock behind those waterfalls. As a result, several waterfalls now plunge into semi-circular amphitheaters; others fall out into midair, to be wafted away on the wind. Most waterfalls are limited to the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge because landslides modify the steepness on the Washington side. The entire region s bedrock material is tilted slightly southward. When it s saturated by water, the upper basaltic layers on the north side of the river slide into the gorge. The greatest number of waterfalls is accessible from a portion of the old Columbia River Highway (Hwy. 30), which can be reached from Interstate 84. If you re coming from Portland, take Exit 17 at Troutdale, Exit 18 from Lewis & Clark State Park, Exit 22 from Corbett, Exit 28 from Bridal Veil, or if you re coming from the east, take the Dodson, Bridal Veil or Corbett exits. Some waterfall views require a short hike. OREGON Multnomah Falls Access: car or hike. After Yosemite Falls, this is the tallest falls in North America. Two million visitors a year flock to see this 620-foot plunge, fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain. Its highest flow is during winter and spring. Five flows of Yakima basalt are visible in the fall s cliff face. You can view the falls from your car, or take a network of trails up the falls. There s also fine dining at Multnomah Falls Lodge (built in 1925 and on the National Register of Historic Places) and information at Multnomah Falls Visitor Center. Access: From I-84, take exit 31 to the freeway parking lot. For handicapped accessibility, take the old Columbia River Scenic Highway (Hwy 30). Horsetail Falls Access: car or hike. This 176-foot waterfall plunges into a pool right beside the Columbia River Scenic Highway; it s also visible through a corridor cut through vegetation to Interstate 84, 2½ miles east of Multnomah Falls. Triple Falls Access: 1.7-mile hike. Not a series of falls, but rather three parallel chutes ranging from 100 to 135 feet tall. The viewpoint is located on Oneonta Trail #424, 1.7 miles from the trailhead, which is just under a mile from Horsetail Falls Trailhead #438. Both are located on the Columbia River Scenic Highway east of Multnomah Falls. HIKE CAMP PLAY! 202 State Street Downtown Hood River (541) Visit Today! 11th Annual Lavender Daze Festival Sat. & Sun.
