One more shot of the beautiful fairy falls. For this shot I got in real close and used a longer focal length. I am a big admirer of this particular type of falls as they come our really pretty in photographs and this one is one of my favorites. I wanted a shot emphasizing the details of the moss on the ricks and the flowing water.
Hope everyone likes it, Happy Tuesday!!

Another shot from the beautiful fairy falls inside the Wahkeena canyon. The hike towards the falls is pretty steep in parts and it will be a little testing if you haven’t hiked in a while. I don’t know who thought of this but there is a beautiful wooden bench just to sit down and enjoy the falls and its brilliant. We spent an hour here relaxing and enjoying near freezing water spray on the hot summer day.
This was my absolute favorite waterfall from our Oregon trip. Hope you all enjoy the picture as much as we enjoyed these falls. Thanks for visiting.

Fairy Falls, Columbia Gorge, Oregon
This was a nice rainy day so I took the short little hike up to one of the prettiest little waterfalls in...
Althoug it's not very large it was my favourite waterfall to shoot in the Columbia River Gorge. It was waterfall Number three at that day, number six in the two days we were there and it was a great finish for our time there.
Even the weather played nice that day. Overcast and a little rain, perfect for shooting waterfalls. I have to return there one day, there's still so many more waterfalls to shoot.

So after visiting Multnomah Falls and having a quick breakfast at the falls lodge we decided to hike to Fairy Falls while the sun was still low. This particular trail starts of as the Wahkeena Falls trailhead which is a pretty popular attraction along the Columbia River byway, so finding parking and setting off on the trail was easy. We reached Wahkeena falls after an easy hike, it’s a big fall with good water flow but it’s not easy to photograph so after couple of shots we set off to Fairy Falls and that’s when the hike got interesting, it got very steep real quick. There were about 12 switchbacks where you are climbing more than 650 ft in very short distance.
Once the switchbacks are over you quickly enter Wahkeena canyon and hike further in the shade along a creek which you cross multiple times and will soon reach the beautiful Fairy Falls. It’s not a huge falls like the other famous waterfalls of Oregon but a beautiful fan falls similar in appearance to the Lower Proxy falls. We had a blast hiking here and had the falls all to ourselves for almost an hour before other hikers joined us. So we had all the time in the world taking some really good shots of this very pretty falls. Hope you like it..
