About Gorton Creek Falls
Gorton Creek Falls is a secluded two-tier waterfall tucked into the forests near Cascade Locks in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge. The upper falls plunge dramatically over a basalt cliff, while the lower cascades create smaller drops and moss-covered pools, offering multiple compositions along the creek. Photographers will appreciate the lush green surroundings, textured rock walls, and soft light filtering through the canopy. The falls are reached by a short but rugged hike along Gorton Creek Trail, requiring some scrambling near the base for the best views. This spot is especially rewarding in spring or after rain, when water flow is strongest and the forest is vibrant. (Cascade Locks, Oregon, USA)
