"It was like standing at the foot of a volcano, so amazing to witness the raw power of nature. I could've stood there forever." The experience led to a 15-minute documentary by Boss, "What... More

Alder Glen Falls

This unofficially named and relatively minor waterfall appears to have a case of Multiple Personality Disorder.

When the Nestucca River is running low enough, fording the river to the falls is a cakewalk (so long as you don’t mind getting wet), but in the... More
