Grant's Getaways - Waterfalls from Travel Oregon on Vimeo.
The time is right to travel down treasured trails in Oregon State Parks to discover the romance of waterfalls. While the Columbia River Gorge has long impressed us with its gigantic size, I cherish its nooks and crannies even more – especially where the water flows and famous falls whirl and shimmer and ripple and where you can leave all distractions behind.
At 125 feet, Shepperd’s Dell is small in size as Gorge falls go. It rolls out of Young’s Creek to become a foamy moment that resembles a bowtie turned on its side. The water boils and roils, then slips and slides down forty feet of smooth rock face before it twists and shoots up high to celebrate its freedom and falls into a rocky cradle. George Shepperd opened Shepperd’s Dell to the public in 1915 as a tribute to his wife. What a romantic!
