If you love waterfalls, you must embrace the rain. Here in the Northwest, we have an abundance of waterfalls – each with its own character and style. While Multnomah Falls graces most of the calendars and tourist brochures, there are so many others to see. Tall or short, thin or wide, they are all beautiful and powerful to see in person. Most are near a trail, in a state park, or easy to access. We love our waterfalls and want to make it easy to get to see them!
