    We almost drove right past this waterfall, but I'm so glad we stopped! This is an incredibly beautiful multi-tier waterfall, in the same style as Multnomah Falls. Unfortunately we didn't have the time or inclination to do any hiking in the area. The trails would all be spectacular, but hard work with all those hills!

    We went the opposite way most go - leaving the splendor of Multnomah Falls to the last... Wahkeena was the first stop of the 5.4 mile hike and very pretty. You can climb right up to the falls if you are so guided.. or remain on the path and the bridge over the stream. Definitely a great start!

    This natural beauty was a pleasure to hike through. It takes a while, but it certainly has a variety of sights throughout: Nice overlook area for the Columbia River, log/or wooden bridges to cross over, the falls itself, some coves to look in (almost cave-like, but not that big), and gorgeous tall green trees throughout. I look forward to coming back to it.

    Come early to avoid crowds by this waterfall. Easy hike. I like to start at Multnomah Falls and climb up the trail to the top of the falls and follow the Wahkeena Falls trail. Then you come down the trail and avoid the crowds! Beautiful all year round.

    We saw a few falls on the old highway, but we liked Multanomah Falls the most. Wahkeena falls was small and the area is under construction, so it will be nice when finished.

    He hiked up about a mile on the trail. It was raining that day and November 2014 was unusually cold is what we've been told. We wanted to do some hiking and it was absolutely gorgeous, but it was probably not something I do when it was cold and raining again! We had fun and got some great pictures. There's a lookout point to look down at the Columbia River which is pretty awesome. Probably much better in the summer time.

    After a short hike going up (and up and up), you reach the falls. The view of the falls was totally worth getting wet for. This is a rushing, fast flowing waterfall. The trail was a bit slippery and wet, so use caution ascending and descending.

    The trail to Wahkeena Falls, a 242 foot waterfall located along the Columbia River Gorge, is an easy, paved 0.2 mile trail. There is a parking lot at the base of the falls and there's no entry fee. The falls are easy to find off of the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway (30). I drove along the Columbia River Gorge and saw a number of waterfalls on a day trip from Portland. I liked this one because it felt up close and personal. You could really feel the spray from the waterfall at the bridge which sits over the pool/runoff from the waterfalls. After seeing the falls, you can either continue along the path to the more famous cousin of Wahkeena Falls, Multnomah Falls, or you can jump in the car for a short drive to the parking lot at the base of Multnomah. As I mentioned in my Bridal Veil Falls review, I think it's well worth renting a car in Portland if you're visiting so that you can spend the day driving up the Columbia River Gorge and taking in the beautiful series of waterfalls that are mostly short hikes from easy parking. If you'd like to view a GoPro video of Wahkeena Falls, or other falls along the Columbia River Gorge, be sure to search for my channel on YouTube called KA Adventures.

    That said it all we hiked all the falls had lunch the lodge great coffee and food. All the falls were a great sight were use to small windy roads so no problem but I don't think anyone would have a problem with this road

    Like others in the area this is a nice little hike and falls along highway 30. If you're along this stretch of road then your obviously looking for some natural beauty. Stop and take it in. There are short and long trails so pick your endurance and enjoy.

    Moderate hike about 5.5 miles including the hike from Multnomah Falls Lodge back to the Wahkeena Falls trailhead on the Return Trail. The ONLY reason I down-rated this hike was that I hate the crowds at Multnomah Falls. We hiked in from Wahkeena trailhead, took Larch Mt. trail and dropped down to Multnomah Falls/Benson Bridge, the tourist hiking mecca of Portland. Until then, the hike is absolutely stunning: you'll see Wahkeena Falls, of course, then Fairy Falls, Ecola Falls, Weisendanger Falls, Dutchman Falls, and finally Multnomah Falls. Once you cross Multnomah Creek just above Multnomah Falls, the crowds are thick and often inconsiderate. There is a severe lack of 'trail etiquette" that you see on other hikes: Groups walk side by side across the trail REALLY SLOWLY and don't move over for faster hikers to pass. I found that using bicycle language (i.e. saying loudly "Passing on the Left") worked pretty well, though. Otherwise, this really is a worthwhile hike and I can't wait to do the alternate loop: Multnomah to Horsetail Falls.

    The short hike takes you an impressive waterfall with a mist swirling all around. The bridge gives you a very up close look that captures the power and majesty of water falls. A sort hike up from the falls is a sitting area that is in the afternoon sun. The perfect picnic spot. You can hike further if you are inclined or take the short walk back down to the parking area.You can park all along the road either before or after the trail head.

    We hiked to several waterfalls during our brief stay in the gorge, and this was one of the nicest, as well as shortest. The half-mile trail is very well designed and well maintained. The forest was comfortable on a hot day, and we saw some wildflowers that we did not see elsewhere in the area. This hike was not crowded, even though it is only a few minutes from Multnomah Falls.

    It's a short walk from the parking lot to the bridge where you can feel the spray of the falls on you (and your camera). Flow seems more powerful than Multnomah - which can be felt on the bridge. Perfect for a nice hot sunny day in July!Parking is easy to find, right at the base of the trail. More parking available the earlier you go in the day. The falls are a beautiful place to relax, breathe the fresh air and enjoy nature.

    we took the Columbia River Scenic Highway. BEWARE! if you are afraid of edge/ height! this road is narrow and windy, but if you are not driving, you may be ok. to get up to the Vista House , you have to go up this road. But once you are up there the view is beyond words! the Falls were Great! ..if you continue on this road, you can see several different ones. Had a great time once we were there. did walk up a path to the bridge. wasnt bad. But the path up to the top is Very steep and is about 1.1 ml up.
