USA Elowah Falls
One of the gems of Columbia River Gorge. Beautiful waterfall, especially during fall when it gets surrounded by fall colors.
Easy hike suitable for most beginners is required to get to the fall. 1.4 miles round trip with 280 ft of elevation gain.

Photography Tips
ND filters can help prolong exposure and create milky water.
The two pictures says it all for this spot, some other compositions are possible but the falls are quiet high, so portraits with a wideangle is the way to go to get it all in (as in Gabi Fulcher picture)
