Description
On the Oregon side of the magnificent Columbia River Gorge are many waterfalls of all sizes and shapes easily accessed from the old Columbia Gorge highway. Unfortunately, Fairy Falls is not one of these. In the course of the the one mile trail from the highway to the falls you must climb 800 feet in elevation. Every step up is worth the effort when you come around the corner and see Fairy Falls surrounded by mossy rocks and maidenhair ferns. One of the special things about this particular image is that the sun was just starting to hit the top of the falls and you can see the golden rays in the splashing water at the top right of the falls. What a relaxing and peaceful place after a strenuous climb.
