After Chanticleer Point we visited four waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. The maidenhair ferns, lady ferns, and golden monkey flowers added to the fluid beauty.

Joe and Jay. A mile and a half uphill, Wahkeena Springs gushes intact out of the ground. Five yards uphill from that one spot, no stream at all; five yards down, safely view nearly the complete plummet of Wahkeena Falls.

Mother & Daddy in front of the "tiered" falls on Wahkeena Creek—not a sheer drop, but the waters hurl themselves over a series of fantastic cascades down a steep declivity.

Ruth and Joe 1½ miles past the source where Wahkeena Creek surfaces and the waters race headlong over the cliff.
