Elowah Falls

Overview

Elowah Falls is an impressive waterfall, easily comparable with Multnomah Falls in majesty, if not height. McCord Creek spouts in a single hyperbolic curve from a basalt defile to the splash pool below. A small bridge, usually soaked by spray, crosses the creek just below the falls. The amphitheater, splashed with colonies of golden cobblestone lichen, exhibits spectacular layers of several members of the Columbia River Flood Basalts, with single flows usually including jumbled layers of entablature bracketing columnar basalt.
