The Columbia River Gorge is famous for its waterfalls - 77 on the Oregon side alone!
They come in all shapes and sizes.
They can be classified into eight forms:
plunge, horesetail, fan, cascade, punchbowl, block, tier, and segmented.
You can see examples of each of these waterfall shapes on a tour of the Historic
Columbia River Highway.
Be prepared to do a lot of stopping and starting again
- these spectacular waterfalls are within approximately
a 15 mile distance of
each other!
