The Historic Columbia River Highway is probably the best place in the United States to go waterfalling. It includes Multnomah Falls, the second highest waterfall in the country, as well as Horsetail Falls, Dutchman Falls, Wiesendanger Falls, Ecola Falls, Fairy Falls, Wahkeena Falls, Coopey Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Shepperd’s Dell Falls, and Latourell Falls. There are flexible options for both the non-hiker and the avid hiker looking for a moderately strenuous trails. If you choose to hit a couple of different trailheads, the best part is, it’s less than 9 miles that you need to drive in order to hit all of them. And this stretch of highway is located less than an hour from Portland, OR, which makes it a very convenient destination for a fun day to spend outside.
