Possibly the tallest waterfall of Oregon photographed for the first time ever .💦

📸 by Andrew Martin

Okay, I know this is a bold claim, but it is for real. This waterfall is known to exist in the US geological waterfall survey but nobody has ever taken a picture of it (as far as I'm aware through hours of research), nor measured it due to it being unaccessible for viewing without a drone.

It is NOT seasonal and runs year round, dropping off a sheer cliff surrounded by steep walls into a deep forested valley. This is it captured in full volume. Some locals know about this waterfall, however, and visit it only from the top as I have in this picture.

After a long adventure in the Siskiyous to the top of a mountain and back down the back side this waterfall reveils itself. After flying my drone out and down the falls and then studying the topographic map of the region I can say the waterfall is approximately 750 ft from the very top to the very last tier at the bottom before leveling out, making this waterfall taller than Multnomah Falls!

Obviously we will need further measurements for confirmation, but I want to try to work with the US geological survey to record this data. Until then I cannot disclose the name or exact location of this spot beyond it is in the Southern Oregon Rogue-Siskiyou mountain range. 💦🤙

Check out this story about the protesters blocking in an oil tanker with a little dingy, and the dozens of kayakers who have gathered to support them! "Thousands of Portlanders have been trying to shut down Zenith for years. They are joined by 46 neighborhood associations, Multnomah County, 20 state legislators, 17 environmental and community organizations. At first, City officials seemed to be listening. They denied the Land Use Compatibility Statement that Zenith needed to continue operating. But then they did an about face, made a back-room deal with Zenith, and betrayed Portlanders. A major part of the deal is that Zenith will transition to renewable fuels. Of course, Zenith has made — and broken — many other promises. (And none of this, unfortunately, even touches on the City’s willful disregard of its own Climate Emergency Declaration.) Currently, Zenith brings in crude oil on mile-long trains that traverse Northern Portland, loads the oil onto ships docked on the river, and then exports fossil fuels down the river and out to the Pacific Ocean. Over the past two years, the volume of oil that has moved through Portland has soared, rising from negligible levels a few years ago to approximately 337 million gallons in 2021 and 374 million gallons in 2022. The Oregon and Washington chapters of Physicians for Social Responsibility recently analyzed 125 peer-reviewed medical journal articles and counted over 300 medical professionals who describe crude oil-by-rail buildout in the Northwest as “an unacceptable threat to human health and safety.”  Zenith Energy is one of ten companies at the Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub, a 6-mile stretch of fuel-filled tanks located between Forest Park and the Willamette River. Many storage tanks at the hub are 100 years old, and none are younger than 30 years old, and could collapse in an earthquake."

Any Portlanders who feel strongly about all the new oil deals being created and old one's being upheld - get to City Hall on the 6th at 9AM! Wear red! Call your local news stations to ask that they cover this story!

Oregon Waterfall Wonders: Revealing the Experience of the Mt. Hood Wine and Waterfall Tour

Many of the breathtaking waterfalls that dot Oregon's varied landscapes tumble down deep valleys and lush- woods. The Mt. Hood Wine and Waterfall Tour is the ideal experience for anyone looking for a special fusion of luxury and nature. It includes tastings at nearby wineries along with an excursion through the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood foothills.

Some of the most stunning and easily accessible waterfalls during your Oregon waterfall tours can be seen in the Columbia River Gorge, a natural wonder. Multnomah Falls, Oregon's biggest waterfall, which plunges 620 feet in two stunning tiers, is one of the tour's initial attractions. As your guide explains the history and geology of this fascinating monument, you will be able to enjoy breath-taking vistas and experience the mist from the falls while standing on the famous Benson Bridge.

Other breathtaking waterfalls like Wahkeena Falls and Horsetail Falls, each with its own distinct flow and surrounding vegetation, are frequently visited as part of the journey. You may stretch and enjoy the fresh mountain air at these breaks, which also provide great photo possibilities. In order to provide visitors the opportunity to explore the dense evergreen forest and establish a connection with the region's dynamic environment, guides frequently organize brief walks along paths.

The journey continues into Oregon's wine country near Mount Hood after taking in the breathtaking waterfalls. Here, grapes flourish because of the area's rich volcanic soil and temperate temperature. Tastings at small vineyards surrounded by picturesque rolling hills with breathtaking views of Mount Hood are a common element of the Mt. Hood wine waterfall tour.

Pinot Noir from Oregon is well known, and a tasting here is the ideal way to learn about the region's highly regarded grapes. A variety of regional wines, such as lively whites like Riesling and Pinot Gris, which are ideal for the chilly temperature, are frequently sampled by tour participants. Winery employees make the tasting experience both entertaining and instructive by sharing their knowledge of the winemaking process.

The Mt. Hood Wine and Waterfall Tour is the perfect excursion for friends, couples, and single people alike since it combines the refinement of Oregon's wine area with the serenity of its waterfalls. Experience the enchantment of Oregon's wines and waterfalls by scheduling your trip right now. They go hand in hand like the Pacific Northwest itself.
