Gorton Creek Cascade

Columbia River Gorge - Oregon

Once you arrive at Triple Falls, you begin your climb here over downed logs and big moss covered rocks to reach the 120 ft. Gorton Creek Waterfall.

Directions: Take exit 51 to Wyeth Campground. Park at the end in the day use area. ($5.00 Parking Fee) Follow the trail .3 miles and you will come to a bridge. From here, there are two more trails that lead off to your right. Cross the bridge to the upper trail and it goes for 5.9 miles to another waterfall. (un-known) Don't cross the bridge and stay to your left and continue on for another .3 miles and you will come to Emerald Falls. Just above Emerald Falls is Gorton Creek. Continue past Emerald Falls and up the creek to the left about 150 yards and you will arrive at Gorton Creek Falls. To the left of the falls is a steep and slippery scree field you will need to scramble up for the view seen above. Best time to Photograph: When the sun is directly above.
