Tracking waterfalls for more than twenty-five years, a true aficionado locates and describes 634 waterfalls in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho (and then lists 777 more in the index!).*At-a-glance table for selecting waterfalls by scenic rating, form, how to access, best season to go, and defining characteristics *5-star waterfalls are graphically identified *Companion website for additional information and access updatesIt's hard to imagine a more complete guide to Pacific Northwest waterfalls than this one. Or a man more devoted to sharing their beauty than Greg Plumb: for his initial inventory, he examined more than 3500 U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. Since then he has driven and hiked thousands of spray-soaked miles to document waterfalls throughout the region.To help you select, each waterfall is keyed for accessibility by car, on foot, or by canoe or raft and rated for magnitude and aesthetic value. Are you in the mood for a punchbowl waterfall? Or do you prefer a horsetail, fan, plunge, or tiered form? He notes which falls can be seen right from the road, are viewed from a swinging footbridge, descend from glacial meltwaters, were formed by the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, or have salmon attempting to jump them.
