Wahclella Falls - Oregon Waterfalls; Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area-hike/trail/map/directions

Wahclella Falls is one of the most awesome and striking waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, crashing in two tiers through a narrow channel (50 ft. and 80 ft.). Even in late summer, Tanner Creek has a lot of flow and the falls is still impressive.

The trail is fairly easy as it climbs up along Tanner Creek to the falls, gradually climbing 300 ft. over a mile. The trail splits before it gets to the falls. You can take either fork, but if you go down to the right, it is a bit easier.

In the spring, you can see East Fork Falls as it drops between the two tiers of Wahclella Falls. You can see this if you find a vantage point up high on the right (west) side of the creek. It really adds a remarkable element to Wahclella Falls.
