Tumalo Falls, Waterfall in Deschutes National Forest, Oregon.
The 97-foot Tumalo Falls descends from Tumalo Creek into a forested canyon surrounded by ponderosa pines and Douglas firs in the Cascade Range.
The waterfall formation occurred through geological processes over thousands of years, shaping the basalt cliffs and creating the current cascade system.
The waterfall and surrounding forest lands serve as an educational site where visitors learn about Pacific Northwest ecosystems and water conservation.
Access to Tumalo Falls requires a Northwest Forest Pass or a $5 fee, with the main viewing platform located 0.25 miles from the parking area.
Multiple waterfalls exist upstream along Tumalo Creek, including the two-tiered Middle Tumalo Falls with its 65-foot drop through dense forest.
