Here in Oregon, we’re surrounded by stunning, superlative waterfalls. There’s Multnomah Falls, a stunning, 620-foot fall that’s one of the most beautiful and iconic places in the PNW. Columbia River Gorge, where Multnomah is located, is home to 90 cascades on the Oregon side of the river alone and is a bucket-list must for waterfall chasers. And of course, there’s Silver Falls State Park, where the Trail of 10 Falls leads to just as many glorious cascades.
The Oregon Coast often gets left out of the equation, however, and it’s actually home to some of the most wondrous waterfalls in the state — because it’s here where you’ll find the eponymous Oregon Coast Range, a coastal mountain range that houses a of myriad waterfalls, including the spectacular Munson Creek Falls.
