Wahclella Falls

This hike has quickly become our favorite waterfall and hike in The Gorge. It’s so easy to do, and a really beautiful hike. The actual falls are stunning. I used to hate repeating hikes because there are so many to do, but now that we have young kids who are hiking and not riding in a pack, if we find a hike that works we will go again and again.

This particular time the tail was covered in snow. C and I both had our microspikes on, G was in the pack, and poor A was trying to hike. I won’t lie, we had to carry our four year old about 50% of the hike because of the slippery snow. But it was so worth it because we were the only ones at the falls and they were truly stunning this time of year. I can’t say I’d sign up to do this hike again in January… it was sort of chaotic due to the conditions of the trail. We’ll be back in a few months!

As an FYI: Parking can fill up quickly on weekends, and don’t forget about the permit requirements during the summer months!
