Defiance Fallsby ~davidrichterphoto

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

The official name of this little known jewel in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon is Lancaster Falls, named after Samuel C. Lancaster, an engineer responsible for the construction of much of the original Columbia River Gorge Highway (which is an awesome drive by the way!). Aptly named, I'd say.

I must have missed this one when I was up there last. Gorgeous!!

~davidrichterphoto Feb 11, 2011 Professional Photographer

Yeah, it's one of the lesser visited spots in the Gorge. Albeit, not less beautiful than others, just harder to reach.

*DreaErvin Feb 11, 2011 Photographer

How far is the hike? I will have to Google it.

~davidrichterphoto Feb 11, 2011 Professional Photographer

I'd say about a mile, maybe a little more and about 200ft. gain in elevation. Not too bad. If you made it to Fairy Falls, this should be an easy task.

*DreaErvin Feb 11, 2011 Photographer

I wussed out on Fairy Falls in December because of the cold. I was ill equipped and unprepared for the weather. I hope to get back up there once the weather improves.

I can only imagine Fairy Falls covered in ice. Saw a video of it and loved it but the scramble up and down the steep switchbacks... A tough ride for sure.

Now that would be a sight to see!

ohmygod

this shot is beautiful! i love the color composition and the shades of green

it feels like something straight out of a fiction book

~davidrichterphoto Feb 11, 2011 Professional Photographer

I think the moss and lichen covered trees make the whole area look like straight from a fairytale. Gotta love the Pacific Northwest!

~ThePhantomDragon Feb 14, 2011 Student Filmographer

yeah its probably all the moss

its so beautiful!

haha ive never been farther north/west than the tenn/ga/al border ROFL
