From hidden forest cascades to roaring natural wonders, these majestic waterfalls will make you fall head-over-heels for Oregon.

1. Multnomah Falls

One great place to start your road trip is at Multnomah Falls, Oregon's tallest waterfall and the second tallest in the country. Multnomah Falls is a true natural wonder: a 611-foot-tall, roaring, awe-inspiring, cascade of icy water. You can hike all the way to the top, or you can simply explore the area and get an up-close view of the falls from the charming pedetrian bridge. There's also a lodge at the bottom where you can grab a coffee, a bite to eat, or a souvenir.

2. Latourell Falls

Located in the Columbia River Gorge near Mulnomah Falls, the stunning Latourell Falls can be found at the end of a moderate, 2.4 mile hike. If you have some extra time, stick around to check out more of the incredible waterfalls in the area, including Punchbowl Falls, Oneonta Falls, and Horsetail Falls.

3. The Silver Falls State Park Trail of Ten Falls

Your next stop from Latourell Falls will be The Silver Falls State Park. There, you'll see the amazing South Falls (pictured above), as well as nine of the other best Oregon waterfalls, while on the renowned Trail Of Ten Falls hike. This 8.7-mile loop starts at the South Falls Lodge Trailhead, and is quite an adventure. The hike also offers the unique experience of getting to walk behind four of the waterfalls, making those 8+ miles totally worth it.

4. Salt Creek Falls

After you've visited Silver Falls, continue south to Salt Creek Falls, a stunning waterfall that happens to be the second tallest in Oregon. There's no hike required to get to this massive beauty.

5. Tamanawas Falls

Looping back to the North, make sure to stop at the Sherwood Trailhead near Mount Hood. This 3.6 mile round-trip hike will take you to the gorgeous Tamanawas Falls.

6. Ramona Falls

The final stop on this road trip is the ethereal Ramona Falls. This majestic cascade is located on a 7-mile loop hike in the Mount Hood National Forest.

The drive time on this Oregon waterfall road trip is 10 hours and 13 minutes, which is best spread out over a few days. You can view this road trip in Google Maps, too. And if you're looking for some tasty food along the way, definitely plan a pit stop at one of these iconic Oregon restaurants.
