The 12 best waterfalls in Oregon’s north Coast Range: You've Never Seen Oregon Like This

Описание: The next time you want to feed a waterfall fix in Oregon, forget the Columbia River Gorge and head to the Coast Range instead.

When Oregonians think of waterfalls, we tend to think of the Columbia River Gorge, home to at least a dozen of our state's most famous plunges. We often overlook the many incredible waterfalls in the mountain range just west of the Willamette Valley.

While they tend to run dry in the summer, waterfalls of Oregon's coastal mountains roar in the winter and spring, fed by storms that roll in off the Pacific. Found in forested canyons and amphitheaters forged of volcanic rock, waterfalls rank among the most scenic destinations in the region.

Unlike in the Columbia River Gorge, no single highway leads to all these falls. Finding them requires hours of driving along the many winding highways and forest roads that cross the mountains.

There are dozens upon dozens of waterfalls in Oregon's northern Coast Range, but only a small portion are easy and safe to access. Diehard waterfall hunters may be willing to bushwhack through the forest to find them, but we've decided to stick with the falls found on trails or the side of the road.

These 12 represent the best of the best, the Coast Range waterfalls worth chasing down on your next journey out to the coast. #YouveNeverSeenOregonLikeThis
