The roaring Elowah Falls is one of the prettiest in the Columbia Gorge, and it is less than a mile from the trailhead making it a shorter hiking option with a big payoff. The 2017 Eagle Creek fire has impacted this area, and you will notice that the forest has changed. The bridge at the creek crossing was damaged in the fire, but the creek can be crossed on foot and the Gorge 400 trail accessed on the other side.
