This hiking trail is literally easy! The waterfall is only 5 minutes away from the public parking. I’m deaf, but I can actually feel the vibrance of the roaring waterfall, and I can hear it too! **This waterfall is open to the public because there is a public restroom available.** #columbia

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
