Found this falls while driving down the Historic Columbia River Highway . Latourell Falls is a waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge & it's right next to the Guy W. Talbot State Park. I like this falls as it wasn't too busy & it has its own parking lot. You can see the lower falls from the road & parking lot, So you don't really have to hike to see the falls if you don't want to. There's a pathway that leads you to the 2.1 mile hiking trail to see the upper falls. I'd hike this one next time I'm in town. I didn't have time to do much hiking as I was only in town for the day. I'm Just glad I was able to stop off to check this one out.
For an easy walk to the waterfall, this was the one! I would say it isn't a difficult walk or a hike. You park your car and then walk on a small trail for less than 10 minutes. You will then see a huge waterfall that you can actually go really close to if you aren't scared of being soaked or wet. We had fun here and it wasn't difficult!
Probably THEE waterfall to check out when you're on the scenic highway. We always check this out during the summer time when in Portland and it's always a treat. It'll be a hike up to get there, roughly around 10 minutes. It's a steep climb but the view is rewarding. There's also a pathway around the waterfall that takes you further down the forest area. Go if you dare! And wear your hiking shoes cause you'll need it! The power of the streams will make the area have heavy mist as you get closer to the waterfall so be mindful of that. I can't describe it any better; see it for yourself!
Another beautiful waterfall along the Historic Scenic Highway! And like Horsetail Falls, Latourell Falls can be seen from the street making it easy for everyone to enjoy. You can get fabulous pictures right across the street from the parking area. If you go in the spring, the force of water is so powerful! The trails are muddy, even though the sun is shining, so wear the appropriate hiking shoes and be careful if you venture up to the top.
Multnomah Falls is generally the popular hike and rightfully so but this is a pretty good gem Directions: You're good to go once you park at the main parking lot. You'll see a map that will show you multiple directions to take you to different parts of the fall. Hiking Difficulty: Family friendly! If you are going to play in the waterfall and such, then yes, get those water-friendly shoes. However, it's not too lengthy. You have an easy walk, one for maybe 15 minutes, and another one that can be 2 mile~1.5 hrs (round trip). Overall: 4.5 stars. Awesome! I had a great time here. I enjoyed the different animals (snake alert) and critters, along with the different sceneries nature had to offer from the trees, sunlight, and the waterfall. TL;DR Tips: * Come early for better chances at parking!
Beautiful short hike, loop setup, roughly 2+ miles trip out to the second fall and back onto the road, and more to continue onto the other side of the road for further hiking. You can go up close to both falls, just on two different trails. Overall you get shade most of the way, and it can get chilly/wet on certain parts. Recommend bringing good shoes and avoid hiking after a rain, cause it can get pretty slippery.
There's a lot you can park at. It was pretty full but people parked at the side too so you can just do that. There's picnic benches at the parking lot and I saw some families having a picnic there! One family even had a table cloth and set that picnic vibe up! ;) Totally a good spot to have a picnic after walking to see the waterfall! There's one trail that leads up to where you can see the waterfall from afar. Make sure you use the railing if you have a hard time walking since it is a short uphill walk. Better safe than sorry! Then, if you want, you can continue hiking up the trail. I am not sure what's up there but we did not come for hiking so we headed back down the trail. There is a sign that says "Latourell Falls" at the side of the parking lot, leading to the overpass. The path to go to the waterfall is to the LEFT. It is a typical hiking trail - just be careful because some of the vines had thorns. It was a short walk (5-10 minutes depending on how fast you walk). There's a rock platform on your walk you can climb up on to take pictures if you want but just be careful climbing up and down. When you get to the waterfall, there isn't much space but you can take a photo at the small ledge. Then, walk down the rocky area to get to the waterfall for pictures. Brace yourselves- the water will come flinging at you like a feisty mist lol There was a bridge area leading to another path where you can climb on a rock to take a photo at the waterfall. We didn't go on this path since we didn't want to hike. We went back to our car and had a great time. Beautiful waterfall and short short walk! Just wear shoes with good grip for walking on trails!
This is an easily accessible waterfall that you can hike to at water level, mid level from an overview, and on top of. There's a small bridge at the bottom of the trail with a nice view. There's a dedicated parking lot for the waterfall but it's not very big so expect a difficult time parking on weekends or after noon.
This was my favorite waterfall that I had visited when I came to Portland in August of 2022. It's part of the Waterfall Corridor and was the first place my boyfriend and I stopped at to check out. There is a small parking lot, so come early if possible to grab a spot! The overview was already quite beautiful in my opinion since you can see the waterfall in the distance. The signs do let you know that there are 2 ways to see the falls: upper and lower portions of it. We chose to do the lower falls as it was an easier and shorter "hike" (I say this with air quotes cause it's literally just a level 1 on the stair master). It was about a 5 minute walk to the base of the falls, and it was glorious! It was starting to get a bit warmer when we got there, so the spray of the water was quite refreshing. I will say to definitely watch your step as it could get a bit slippery being so close to the falls. Once you're done playing paparazzi, you can continue down the route, cross the bridge, then loop back to the parking lot.
We'd been to the lower falls right off the road before, very pretty, so we decided to take the trail to the upper falls today. Decent parking, a small lot and some across the road as well. There are restrooms available, and the lower falls can be seen just a short jaunt from the car. Really enjoyed the trail to the upper falls. The trail itself is shady and fairly narrow most of the way, with quite rocky and rooted terrain. The distance is a bit over 2 miles, you loop back once you reach the upper. You follow the creek the whole way, but this time of year you can rarely see the water due to all the forest growth...but you can certainly hear it! The upper falls are as pretty as the lower, and you can venture out right behind them if you're ok getting a little wet. There are gorgeous trees throughout the trek, some very interesting and unique beauties for tree lovers like myself. Not to mention gorgeous gorge views as you're heading down. Once we'd completed the loop we opted to take the separate trail up the lower falls as well. You can venture right up to and under the falls here as well. We arrived about 9:30am on a Sunday morning and the trail wasn't crowded much at all, more encounters as we were nearing the end of the loop. However by the time we headed for a close up view of the lower falls at about 11am that whole area as well as the lot were quite full. Great falls, fun loop trail... happy day!
Pro tip: to avoid the crowds get there at 7am on a weekday. I had the trail entirely to myself the day after Memorial Day. It's a 3 mile loop or a 2 mile out and back to the upper falls. The first mile is pretty much up, up, up and is also kinda muddy. Sturdy shoes recommended. The lower falls can be seen from the parking lot, or closer just a bit up the trail. If you are hustling to get through hwy 30 before they close it for the day (permit only during the tourist season), then you can get your photo super easy. You won't regret taking an hour, though, and seeing the upper falls. The trail is lush with PNW greenery and flowers.
Latourell Falls was the first waterfall that my wife, her mom, and I stopped by, at 8:00 am. There is a parking paved angled parking lot with 30 spots. There are stairs from the lot, giving a complete view of the falls, requires going up 60 steps with 8 intermediate landings. My 85 year old mother in law was able to do with help and frequent stops. One can walk down a path (about a 3 minute walk) to get to the base of the waterfall, which is what I did by myself. The sound (and smell) of the water was so nice: could have stayed here much longer but we had other waterfalls to see. Notes: - named after Joseph "Frenchy" Latourell, a 19th-century settler. - 224 feet high read more
Latourell Falls is the second biggest one is the Columbia Scenic Driveway. There's a parking lot and road side parking available. There are two paths from the lot, one through stairs to an observation deck, and another one down the trail to the bottom of the fall. The trail is short 2 minutes walk on even path. Dress properly for wet and misty weather, and have proper shoes. The prime location is corner spot right in front of the fall. The pathway continues thru an old bridge. You can actually walk behind the waterfall following the path, the unique aspect of the waterfall. When we arrived at the fall, parking lot was full, so we parked on the side of the road. The trail was little wet, so we walked carefully to the prime spot. The fall looked stunning. The water flow was much stronger than other falls. Some visitors were brave to walk all the way to the back of the fall. This was my favorite fall among all of them in the area. read more

This beautiful waterfall hike has something for everyone. If you're not much of a hiker, you can see the lower falls with a minimal walk from your vehicle to the view point. If you're short on time, you can walk to the bottom of the waterfall and back to the Peking area in ten minutes. For those with longer to spend, the full loop is easy, and offers amazing views of another waterfall, wildflowers, and lush forest. The parking area gets crowded on summer days even midweek, but it's no where near as hectic as Multnomah Falls. Totally worth a stop if you're in the area. read more
Less crowded than the other falls... Just before heading to the Vista House at Crown Point we stopped by Latourell Falls. On a crowded Memorial Day weekend and almost impossible to find parking our tour guide suggested that he dropped us off and do an easy short loop hike to the falls. We were dropped off at the beginning of the trailhead from the Historic Columbia River Highway and we followed the paved viewpoint trail uphill past the bridge to the Latourell Falls Viewpoint. The falls was beautiful and we were there admiring the 224-feet tall single-plunge waterfall from below, an amazing waterfall that rivals others in the Gorge. It looks like a sheer curtain as it falls straight down. The water doesn't touch any rocks or anything from the time it leaves the top to the time it hits the bottom pool below. Just beautiful and you will feel some mist as you get near the falls. We continued on the other side of the creek back to Columbia River Highway where our tour guide was parked waiting for us. Enjoyable short hike. TRIVIA: The falls are named after Joseph Latourell, a 19th century settler of the area who became postmaster of the Rooster Rock Post Office in 1887. Review #1416 read more
Latourell Falls is easily one of my favorite waterfalls in Oregon. Nothing feels better than walking right up to falling water and feeling its refreshing mist. A word to the wise: the water feels a little bit sharp, so be careful if you intend to go under the falling water. This waterfall reminds me of a waterfall I visiited in Iceland. Skógafoss some might recognize it from the scene of Jon Snow riding the dragon for the first time with Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones. The likeness is uncanny and it adds that much more magic to the visit. A really short drive and hike from Vista House makes Latourell Falls very accessible. This is absolutely a site that must be experienced if one is enjoying the Columbia River Gorge. Do not forget a change of clothes if you intend to get up close and personal with the water. Oh, you will! All in all, a beautiful and wondrous creation of nature. Very much recommended! read more
Of all the falls we saw at the Columbia River Gorge, this one is my favorite. Now, I'll make this clear: they're all good. But Latourell Falls is unique, because it goes down in mid-air, not cascading down any rocks. It's easily accessible, too. You can go up the stairs to the viewing area for a gorgeous view. OR . . . you can walk down a paved, gradually-sloped path for a quarter mile to reach the bottom of the falls. It's quite easy to go very close to the falls too, although the force of the water is so great that you shouldn't be IN the waterfall. More than enough parking. To give you an idea of what to expect: The Hunny has difficulty on hills, and she handled this one easily, both up and down. And I naturally got close to the falls for a photo op, with the girl acting like she did not know me. Hmpf. If you can't get to Multnomah, make it a point to get to Latourell. Even if you do get to Multnomah, fit Latourell into your itinerary. read more

Nice Waterfall, Super Close To Road Access Viewable with less than 5 minutes hiking too! Hike up the hill for great photo views, down around the hill to walk into the chilly water! Not as crowded as Multnomah and some of the others. Don't miss this less traveled side of the road. read more
Worth a stop to take the short walk to this impressive falls! The easy trail affords close up views of the falls. Many trekkers also clamber up under the overhang where the thunderous sound of the water are accompanied by stingingly cold sprays. Just be careful of slipping on the rocks or mud, especially as we didn't see any park ranger or security around. read more

Not even rain all day would keep me inside. The fall colors brighten every nook and cranny of Latourell falls so you can really enjoy all its magic. This plugging waterfall sits at over 249 ft over a large cliff with slight elevation change the 3 mile hike is a perfect way to enjoy the day. Although the rain made this a slightly slippery and muddy hike we all loved it just make sure to wear the right type of shoes and bring a rain coat. What's even better in the rain there wasn't a soul in sight. read more

All the pictures of the falls without a difficult hike? Why not! Latourell is similar to Multnomah Falls in the fact that you can get all the pictures of the falls without having to really hike. If you're in it just for the pictures, it's a short 3 minute walk and then you're there. Of course, for those looking for a challenge, there's another trail that loops all the way around and you get to see both the upper and lower falls. That trail is almost 2.5 miles long that has some incline. Either way, both trails are relatively short and can be done probably within an hour or two. Latourell is really close to Bridal Veil and Multomah Falls so it's possible to do all 3 in a few hours. Of course, do check the area as roads are closed due to the Oregon wildfires. (As of 9/20/18) Overall, a great place for pictures and a hike! read more

Magical, snowy loop trail, oh how I love thee! We have done this trail many times, and to do it in the snow is such a treat! Two waterfalls in one hike under 3 miles? Yes please! Note: Because of the spray from the falls, parts of the trail were ice sheets today. We had spike/traction devices to pull on over our shoes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them if you are going to do the full loop. read more
Beautiful hiking trail right outside of the city that was easy to get to. We got here late morning and the trail was not busy at all. The scenery was amazing here. All the different shades of green seemed unreal. We don't get this type of lush greenery in Dallas so I was soaking up every second of the hike. Pro tip: if you want to just go to the bottom of the big lower falls, walk down the path to the left of the information board. We went the other direction (which is fine because we wanted to hike) and kept wondering when we would make it to the bottom of the falls. The bottom is literally a 5 minute walk from the parking lot lol. If you take the full hiking loop, it's well worth it. The trail takes you to a smaller upper falls then to the top of the huge lower falls before taking you to the base of the lower falls. read more
This is a fabulous hike. I highly recommend doing the full 2.4 mile loop - you get 2 great waterfalls, a nice clearing that overlooks the Columbia River gorge, a tree you can walk through, and a walk under the road bridge. Basically there are a lot of points of interest packed into this modest hike. There is a decent elevation gain, but I like that it provides a little bit of a workout. There are some steep spots that get slippery when it's rainy. The temperature drops significantly when you get near the falls, so be prepared. The paved road and parking lot at the trailhead are easily accessible, but the lot fills up quickly on the weekends. read more

I think this was Allen's favorite fall, since you can get hella close to the water! Parking here is a bit more difficult, so I recommend coming early enough to snag a spot. +1 Love that there are two ways to hike to the fall! The visible route is the direct uphill hike, but there is a more subtle downhill one underneath the "Latourell Falls" sign. The exciting part is when you cross the bridge, and get as close as you can to the water! You can technically go further in, but definitely bring extra clothes.... Overall, cute hike! We came at a good time (11 am-ish) so the sun was beaming and the weather was perfect. Come check it out! read more

Very beautiful and quite unbelievable to see. However, and this is a big however. DO NOT USE THE ADDRESS ON YELP!!!! The address takes you down a gravel path with no outlet someplace ABOVE the falls on private property. Search on Google for the Latourell Falls trailhead and you'll find it. Really easy to access once you are on the true route. read more
Very easy waterfall to access without having to spend a lot of time hiking. It's very accessible, but also very popular, so it can be hard to get a shot without anyone in the picture. There's also a trail that will take you towards the top. The trail can also get busy. Personally, I don't think the trail is worth taking the time doing if you're on a time crunch. read more

I hiked from the parking lot to lower and upper hills and around back to the road to the parking lot, which was a fun and not super exhausting hike. It took about an hour start to finish. There are some parts which are a bit uphill, but it's not super steep. Hiking boots are not necessary for this hike, as I did it in my Nikes. The water is nice, and the scenery seen throughout the hike is nice. read more
Beauty, right at your fingertips! In the literal sense, if you tried to stick your fingertips in this waterfall, you would probably get devoured. But figuratively speaking, Latourell Falls is truly right at your fingertips! There's no need to hike a thousand miles to see this captivating waterfall. I mean, you can definitely get your hike on if you so choose to. But for those of you who just want to view this beauty without the sore muscles and rough inclines, it is totally doable! Latourell Falls is located just a short distance passed the famous Vista at Crowne point along the East Columbia River Scenic highway! If you are driving out to Multnomah Falls, you will pass Latourell Falls along the way. Located in Guy W. Talbot State Park, Latourell Falls is practically viewable from the highway! I came here in the late fall (early December), and the falls were still full bodied and plunging. The falls are viewable from several different access points; the easiest and quickest one being just a few steps from the parking lot! This viewpoint provides the perfect view of the entire waterfall without all of the wetness spewing in your face. It's also a great place to take flawless pictures. I observed one photographer with a tripod here when I went. With that being said, this is also the most popular location to view the falls, and you might have to compete with other tourists when using the viewpoint. But, this waterfall doesn't seem to get as busy as maybe Multnomah Falls would. There's a small trail that descends down to the bottom of the waterfall. It's probably only about a quarter mile or so, and it will get you up close and personal to the waterfall! Just beware; you will get wet if you decide to take this route. I highly recommend it though because the sights and sounds are truly breathtaking. Capturing this can be a bit difficult since the mist from the falls will fog up your camera lens, but it can most certainly be achieved. If you want to get a little exercise in while viewing the falls from the top, there's a nice hiking trail that will lead you to the top of the falls and beyond. I didn't hike the entire trail due to time constraints, but the trail is moderate with a steady incline and only took me about 15 minutes or so to reach the top of the waterfall. The entire trail is an incline all the way to top, but you can pace yourself. The trail seems to continue on and looks like it might connect to the bottom of the falls at some point. If I had more time, I would have probably explored the trail a bit more. Latourell Falls is definitely worth your visit! It's fast, it's free, and most importantly; it's a beautiful memory that you will never forget! read more
These falls are a hidden gem! I highly suggest checking them out! I came to Portland in the beginning of March 2018. Unfortunately Multnomah falls were closed down due to the wildfires. The rangers at Multnomah were telling people about the only two falls open to public that day. This was one of them. Too be honest I am glad that Multnomah was closed off because I probably wouldn't have experienced Latourell falls. Latourell falls has 2 waterfalls.You can get to the top and bottom of the first one quite easily without much of a hike. If you have the time and want to really enjoy it I suggest check out the second waterfall at the end of the loop.The entrance that descends by the bridge leads to the bottom of the first falls, Great photo-op without going too far. The next trailhead is by the bathrooms and it ascends to the top of the first waterfall, again not to much of a hike. But if you keep going on the same path it'll loop back around about a quarter mile up the road from where you started. Parking was pretty limited, ended up parking on the side of the road. read more
