(from All Trails:)
The Wahkeena Falls Loop in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is a treat for waterfall lovers! You'll start at the Wahkeena Picnic Area and hop onto Wahkeena Trail #420.

This trail follows Wahkeena Creek, taking you past several beautiful waterfalls. The path then climbs towards Multnomah Falls via the Larch Mountain Trail #441.

After soaking in the views at Multnomah Falls, you’ll head back to the Wahkeena parking lot using Return Trail #442, which runs along the Historic Columbia River Highway. Keep in mind that the parking area might be closed sometimes because of landslides or road work. Along this route, you’ll also have the chance to see Weisendanger Falls, Ecola Falls, and Fairy Falls.
