Latourell Falls drops in a single tall plunge over a dark basalt cliff, framed by evergreens and bare branches, with a small pool at the base. The printed caption gives the height as 225 feet. The falls lie in the Columbia River Gorge, a landscape of basalt cliffs and dense conifer forest that became a popular scenic destination as the Columbia River Highway opened the area to motorists.
