The hike to Triple Falls in the Columbia River Gorge is a must if you like waterfall hunting. Begin at Horsetail Falls, right at the trailhead and a tourist stopping spot. From there it’s a short hike up to Oneonta Falls, where the trail takes you behind the falls – not often you get to see a waterfall from the reverse side. From here most tourists head back to their cars, but if you keep going, you’ll get to Triple Falls and a lot more solitude. Tori and I had a picnic lunch on a huge log out over the stream, just above Triple Falls, and then had fun scrambling up the riverbed on big boulders. This is a very rocky trail, watch your ankles 🙂
UPDATE: I’ve heard that beginning in 2022 permits will be required for some of these areas. Probably a good thing, since the last time I tried to hike there it was so crowded I literally felt like cowering in a corner.
