A natural rock bridge spans over a shallow stream in a lush forest, with several people exploring the area. The ground is covered in fallen leaves, and tall trees surround the scene.

An easy hiking trail in Columbia River Gorge!
I think this is now one of my favorite hiking trails because it is less than 2.5 miles round trip, and the last waterfall has a 300-foot elevation gain. The first three waterfalls are super easy to access and family-friendly. #columbiarivergorge #easyhiking #oregonhikes #thisisoregon
