Description:
The photographer posted this photo on October 2, 2015. It was taken around 7:00 AM, before the crowds arrived.
NOTE: This trail has been closed indefinitely after the Eagle Creek Fire of 2017. Check this page for updates.
The parking area is located just off the Historic Columbia River Highway, at the coordinates above.
This is a short and fairly easy hike (once you scramble over the 20-foot log jam). It only takes about 10 minutes to reach the Lower Falls, from where this photo was taken. Note that you will need to get in the frigid cold water, which gets about waist deep, in order to snap this exact photo.
The full hike will take you up to Triple Falls and back.
