Fairy Falls is a tiny little fall that’s tucked inside the beautiful Wahkeena canyon. And the Wahkeena canyon is one of the hundreds of small canyons created by streams that flow into the massive Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. Now usually these canyons will have a massive waterfall right on their entrance and these waterfalls are usually the more famous than the small ones inside. But there was a reason why my wife and I did the hike that day to the little fairy falls. This fall is a perfect example of a fan-shaped waterfall and its setting is inside the most vibrant green foliage you have ever seen.
When we got to the falls what stood out was how tiny it actually is and I got the image I always pictured of the stunning Fairy Falls. While hiking back from the falls I started to notice the beauty of this little canyon. There was this spot where the trail crossed the Wahkeen creek and the moss covered rocks and trees provided a stunning contrast to the brilliant greens of the foliage. I was not as skilled with the filters back then so the highlights are a bit blown but overall this is one my favorite images from our trip.
