Peak Northwest

Do go chasing waterfalls...along Oregon's southern Coast Range

Listen Later

When most Oregonians want waterfalls, we head to the Columbia River Gorge, home to dozens of iconic plunges.


But travel toward the Oregon coast instead and you can find many more waterfalls hidden in the forests of the Coast Range mountains.


We dedicated a Peak Northwest podcast episode back in 2020 to the waterfalls in the northern part of the range. And on this week’s episode, we talk about some of the most impressive waterfalls in the southern Coast Range.


Some highlights:

  • Jamie and Jim describe the splendor of a stroll through the forest, seeking waterfalls that are especially beautiful this time of year.
  • Jamie details the difficulty of finding some of the waterfalls in the southern Coast Range.
  • We discuss a selection of Jamie’s favorite southern Coast Range plunges.
