Latourell Falls features a stunning 224-foot plunge cascading over a dramatic amphitheater of columnar basalt. Easily accessible from the Historic Columbia River Highway, it offers a short walk to the base and a scenic loop trail that showcases both the lower and upper falls. The vibrant green lichen contrasting with the dark basalt creates a striking visual, making it a favorite among photographers. The area is rich in geological history, with the falls flowing over ancient basalt flows formed millions of years ago. This waterfall is particularly notable for its year-round beauty, with varying water flow that enhances its appeal in every season.
