One of the many waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge. You probably have to walk less than 100 feet from the parking lot to a viewing area. So not a tough hike!

The waterfall and the river that forms it were originally named Starveout from an incident in the winter of 1884-1885. Two Union Pacific Railroad trains were marooned in a blizzard for two weeks near the river. Supplies were delivered to the passengers and crew members by volunteers on skis. The river was thus named Starveout and later changed to Starvation Creek.

It was really difficult to handle droplets in the rain
