Latourell Falls, a 249-foot plunge, is the most westerly of the falls in the Columbia River Gorge. The hike is a 2.4-mile loop, crossing four pleasant, small wooden bridges. This waterfall has a two-tiered drop – first a block fall that’s almost hidden, and then a plunge into a pool. The trail crosses Latourell Creek at the base of the falls and heads back down the west side of the creek.
Please wear hiking boots as the trail is rocky. Bring a sack lunch to eat at picnic tables across the road from the falls in Guy Talbot Park.

Let's Go Walking! When: Tue Aug 26, 2014 10AM-5PM Where: Lacamas Heritage Trail Walk Meet at: Gresham City Hall 1333 NW Eastman Pwy Gresham, OR Get Map!

This in a 3.5-mile walk with a car shuttle. We will begin at the Camas Heritage Park Trailhead along Lacamas Creek and the western shore of Lacamas Lake. After leaving a paved trail, we will enter a gravel path under a canopy of old growth forest. This leads to a cedar-lined shore trail with abundant Indian-plum, holly and elderberry. We’ll pause at an observation deck to view wildlife and mansions on the opposite shore. Then we’ll cross two wide bridges, the first across a marshland into an oak woodland. The second bridge is near Lacamas Creek and fancy-fenced ponds under power lines. Bring water and snacks for our break and wear sturdy walking shoes. We’ll shuttle drivers back to Camas Heritage Park to bring all passengers to Lakeside Chalet for lunch.
