Cape Horn Falls

One of the first major waterfalls on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, Cape Horn Falls plunges down a series of majestic cliffs.

Park at the upper TH. This is closest to the viewpoint. Take the trail and eventually turn left to the trails that goes towards the creek. Find a good place to enter the creek.

R1 - 50’ off of a small tree near the lip of the falls. Possibly downclimbable. R2- 150’ from a tree DCR. It may be possible to find an anchor situation DCL. Either way, it is very brushy and lots of loose rocks. Would be a good idea to make sure no one is below standing on the bridge. R3 - 230’ from a tree bunch DCL. Before rappelling, make sure you have an exit plan at the bottom. Packrafting is one option. If the water is low enough on the river, then you could walk along the shore eastbound.
