About this postcard

A tall waterfall drops through a steep, forested canyon, with a stone arch bridge crossing the stream below. The view is on the Columbia River Highway in the Columbia River Gorge, a scenic road built in the 1910s to bring motorists to overlooks and waterfalls. The printed caption spells the falls "Waukeena," likely a variant of Wahkeena Falls.
