Chush Falls, 67-foot waterfall in Deschutes National Forest, Oregon.
The falls cascade over dark basalt rock formations, creating a 75-foot wide natural water display within the Three Sisters Wilderness area.
The 2012 Pole Creek Fire altered the surrounding forest landscape, leaving visible marks that changed the environment around the waterfall.
The name Chush derives from the Sahaptin language word for water, reflecting the Native American heritage of the region.
The complete trail spans 5.2 miles round trip with 435 feet elevation gain, requiring approximately three hours to complete the journey.
Visitors can access Upper Chush Falls through an unmaintained trail, revealing a 225-foot waterfall that ranks as the tallest in the area.
