"Metlako Falls" The falls drop out of narrow, calm pool, and thunder into an impressive gorge. Though the falls are usually cited as being of a Plunge form, because of the narrow constriction, the fire hosing tendency of the water as it drops over the lip of the cliff, as well as the obvious depth of the pool at the base of the falls. © Robert Park www.robert-park.com

“Ponytail Falls”
Also called Upper Horsetail Falls, Ponytail falls emerges from two rounded faces of volcanic rock and gracefully drops into a shallow pool. I wanted to portray the gracefulness and serenity of this waterfall so I got down low into the stream where moss covered boulders dominated the foreground. the slow shutter speed and graceful lines in extract an elegance that is timeless.

Emerald Garden is a dreamy image of Punchbowl Falls. The falls "are located in a very remote and deep gorge that is filled with snow melt waters coming from Mount Hood in the Cascade Range. This image was captured in early summer using an exposure lasting nearly four minutes, which created an ethereal smooth glow to the water that trickled away from the falls.

These falls flow year round, but are best in the late winter and spring, like many others in the area. The cliffs on either side of the falls are flanked with the colorful yellow-green lichen found throughout the Columbia Gorge, adding a lot to the aesthetics of the scene. The falls are usually said to stand 289 feet tall, however repeated visits led us to doubt the validity of that figure. At certain places along the trail to the falls its possible to see Elowah and a part of Upper McCord Creek Falls in tandem, which could have possibly led to the idea that it was one series of waterfalls. Turns out the USGS had sent a survey team to determine the height of the falls in 1916 - their efforts produced a height of 221 feet. We measured the falls in 2009 to be 213 feet tall, so the only way the height of 289 feet could have materialized is if Upper McCord Creek Falls were included. Along the trail to both Elowah and Upper McCord Creek Falls can be seen several sections of old cast iron and wooden pipes which were used to flume pressurized water water to the Crown Willamette Paper Company mill along the Columbia River. Elowah Falls is a very nice 289ft waterfall situated in John B. Yeon State Park towards the eastern end of the so-called waterfalls area of the Columbia River Gorge.Located at Columbia River Gorge © Robert Park www.robert-park.com/
