Impressive 620' waterfall located in the Columbia River Gorge.
Challenge yourself by hiking up 2.2 miles to the top of the waterfall. The hike is moderate, but would not recommend with small children. The hike to the viewing bridge is easier and enjoyable with littles.
Eat brunch at the restaurant (reservation required). Fun gift shop full of trinkets and craft items.
Carpool if you can, parking can be hard to come by.

What to pack
Bring Your Own Shopping Bags & Straws
Stores are rolling out new regulations in the next couple of weeks (Sept. 2021) that will require shoppers to have their own recycled shopping bags.
Reusable straws are also great to pack and are helpful to have if you prefer a drinking straw at restaurants or coffee shops.
