Just a short drive from the "busy" city of Portland you'll find this beautiful scenery. Be sure to take your walking shoes. And keep in mind that weekends are crowded. Lovely!! More

I have been hiking in this area for more than 50 years. Wow, just wow. Sadly there is now some crime in the area and it is best not to hike along, and don't leave valuables in your car. More

This is one of our favorite hikes ... but to see the Oneonta Falls you must wade in waist deep cold water to see the falls up close and personal ! We pick a hot day in August and enjoy the cool refreshing experience. More

Small, narrow gorge. When it's too hot in Portland, bring wading boots for a short hike. Bring a tripod, it's too dark for hand-held. More

Great summer hike, through a narrow gorge. expect to get your feet wet on your way to the waterfall at the far end. Sometimes closed due to conditions (log jams, etc.) More

scramble over rocks and logs; wade through 3 ft deep icy water to view a spectacular waterfall. Super crowded on summer weekends and preschool age kids were terrified at the part where you wade through the water. Lots of happy dogs More

If one chooses a very warm day, the half mile slog will cool you to the bones. More

Not too far into the Gorge , about 45 minutes from downtown PDX , is an area of waterfalls , sidecut gorges and Coiumbia River scenic views. The Oneonta Gorge is definitely a gorge destinition for all seasons . Summer is my favorite time to visit this area . Bring watershoes . an explorier attitude and get wet by hiking... More

If in the Colunbia River Scenic area, this is a beautiful place. You can't hike too far because of water, but still a great place for excellent pictures. More
