Take a short hike to one of Oregon's most scenic waterfalls (92 feet). It's helpful to drive to the trailhead in a 4x. 4 and necessary in the winter months.
This trail is unmarked and a little rough and rugged. The land is privately owned by Mount Angel Abbey, but they don't appear to have problems with courteous hikers. Walking out of the parking area back up the road in the direction you came from, you’ll pass one dirt trail right at the ending of the parking area. Look about a little further down the road (~100 feet) and find the second trail – this is the one you want. After hiking down a steep part of the trail, you’ll hit the creek. Head upstream along the creek to get to the falls. As you get close to the falls, you’ll have to climb over logs and boulders.

You have beautifully captured the depth of this scene. Thanks for all the hard work on getting there. Do you know if this area was affected by the recent fires along the Columbia River Gorge?

Abiqua Falls Oregon USATime
We started hiking down the trail at first light.Lighting
First light is better for this location. The highlights will be blown out later in the day.Equipment

While researching waterfalls in Oregon, I came across a photo of abiqua falls. I decided it was one of my “must visit” locations of Oregon.Editing
