This waterfall was named for Albert Wiesendanger, who was a Forest Service Ranger in the first half of the 20th century and a driving force behind the Keep Oregon Green Association that has been trying to prevent wildfires for several decades.

Running

Hike under a basalt overhang and then enjoy the view of Wiesendanger Falls. It's well worth the climb to get to this pretty spot.

Hiking

While the summer is a popular time for the hike up to this gorgeous waterfall, late spring in the rain can be a special experience. With fewer people and a lot more water coming off the mountain, this waterfall is spectacular during the rainy season.
