The Historic Columbia River Highway Takes Visitors Through 'Waterfall Alley'

"Plunging 224 feet over a basalt cliff, this relatively accessible waterfall is noted for its shockingly tall drop and the iconic wooden bridges visible along the Latourell Falls Loop Trail, which crosses Henderson Creek; it’s regarded as a hidden gem on the route and pairs well with a short visit to its nearby, lesser-known neighbor." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

Nice fall with good size parking lot. Hiked up to the upper fall in about 20 minutes after sun went down. It was still nice enough to view with little light. The trail is a little rocky so may not be doable for some people.

One of the prettiest falls along old Highway 30 in the gorge. It is a short easy walk down to the base of the falls where there are many good photo vantage points. There is also a good view of one of the original road bridges on the scenic byway.

Waterfalls are just so magnificent and I’m pleased I get to experience ones like this! Once again the park was clean. It’s nice when nature stays like nature.

Beautiful spot but also a popular one hard to find parking whenever I have gone. Parking is free if you can find a spot. Short little quarterish mile hike down to the base of the falls. If you keep going on the trail we'll take you underneath the bridge - keep going on the path and it will take you to the top of the falls (about another mile loop) just don't miss the log bridge that loops you over the creek and back towards the lower falls

Very nice trail and it was dry even after the rain. Both waterfalls were extremely full of water..

The lower falls is very easy to see. You can go to the bottom much easier than the upper falls. Although the upper falls is not that taxing. There are some spots that may cause someone with height issues to question going.

Very short 3 min hike with nice waterfall views. I continued the hike further down but didn’t complete the loop. Would come back!

Easy stop, going either direction on the Historic Hwy. If you don't have time for a lengthy hike, this is a great stop. Take 1 minutes to walk to the top of the stairs, to get an amazing view of the falls. There is a restroom too...
