Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery. Faves and comments are always appreciated! Please respect my work by not printing, selling, or reposting it. If you share it via Twitter, Facebook, or tumblr, please include my photo credit. Thanks!

Located in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge, Wahe Falls is somewhat of a Holy Grail for hard-core waterfall hunters. It involves every manner of physical obstacle (no trail, half a mile of creek wading, climbing a sheer rock face, thorns, and chest-high poison oak). I ended up bushwhacking down a steep crumbly hill and along the creek in darkness (though fortunately I remembered to bring my headlamp). I also contracted a nasty case of poison oak that drove me insane for the following week.

NOTE: When displayed at its default size, the photo may appear a bit "soft". FULL VIEW is highly recommended for better appreciation of detail.

Also see Study 1, which was taken from the other side:



(Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200 lens, circular polarizer, f/11, 3 seconds, Bogen/Manfrotto tripod)

If you enjoy this photo, please take a few moments to visit my Waterscapes gallery.

That's so delicately pretty, so colorful. I like the rich colors and textures of the forest surrounding the falls. I'm sorry you got poison oak, though; that is a real pain to put up with.

Thank you again, Jean. No worries about the poison oak, though naturally it is very easy for me to say that 6+ months after the fact. :)

Thanks for your kind words! I was being careful, which is why I made it home alive from this particular trek.
