Latourell Falls | Oregon Photo Spot
Share this Page
Latourell Falls is a stunning waterfall located in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, USA. It drops straight down from an overhanging basalt cliff, making it one of the most distinctive waterfalls in the area. The waterfall is named after Joseph Latourell, a prominent settler in the area in the late 19th century. The falls’ beauty is heightened by the yellow lichens adorning the cliff face and the lush greenery surrounding it. The lower part of the falls is a short walk from the parking lot, making it very accessible. However, photographers can also opt for a more strenuous hike to get to the upper falls for different views. The spray of the falls can create rainbows under the right conditions, adding a magical touch to the photographs. The waterfall is especially photogenic in the spring when surrounded by blooming wildflowers.
