Lower Latourell Falls

Lower Latourell Falls is a 224-foot waterfall along the Historic Columbia River Highway, east of Vista House at Crown Point. Just after this photo was taken on March 9th, 2025 a section of the highway leading to Vista House was closed due to unstable conditions, leaving Latourell Falls only accessible from the Ainsworth State Park exit on Highway 84 near Cascade Locks, some twenty miles east of the falls. Though not nearly as popular as the 620-foot Multnomah Falls, which is much more easily accessible from Highway 84, both the Lower and Upper Latourell Falls are every bit as photogenic. The lower falls is the taller of the two, with its 224-foot plunge.
