Columia Gorge wets your whistle for waterfalls
HIKING -- There's nothing like the lure of a waterfall to coax a hiker out on the trail in the heat of summer.
Certainly we have a few good waterfalls in the Inland Northwest.
But we are the bush league of waterfalls compared with the Cascades.
Terry Richard, outdoors writer for the Oregonian, says Oregon's Cascades have the best concentration, but he gives high marks to the Columbia River Gorge area and Southern Washington Cascades destinations such as Falls Creek, Rodney Waterfall in Beacon Rock State Park and Lower, Upper and Middle Falls on the Lewis River.
