Latourell Falls, Waterfall in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, United States
Latourell Falls drops 224 feet in a single plunge over black columnar basalt walls marked with yellow lichen patterns near the Columbia River.
The land surrounding the falls was donated to Oregon State Parks by Guy W. Talbot in 1929, establishing a natural preservation area.
The waterfall bears the name of Joseph Latourell, who served as postmaster at the Rooster Rock Post Office during the late 1800s.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through a paved viewpoint trail or explore a 2.1-mile loop path to see both the lower and upper falls.
The waterfall distinguishes itself from others in the Columbia Gorge by falling straight down from an overhanging cliff rather than cascading.
