Latourell Falls
A 224-foot single plunge over columnar basalt streaked with bright lichen in the Columbia River Gorge; a paved spur reaches the base in minutes, while the full 2.3-mile loop visits the two-tiered Upper Latourell Falls.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Guy W. Talbot State Park (Oregon State Parks) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

The Latourell Falls Loop Trail reaches it about 2.3 miles (loop) with roughly 625 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is Latourell. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Guy W. Talbot State Park (Oregon State Parks) for closures and current conditions.
Winter and spring high flow (Nov-May). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
