How To Actually Go Chasin’ Waterfalls
from City Cast Portland · host City Cast
Hiking to see majestic waterfalls is one of the perks of living in the Northwest. But with certain areas recovering from wildfires, not all are as safe to visit as you might expect. And yet some things that sound risky — like bushwhacking to find secret falls — are actually more doable than you might think. Today on City Cast Portland, Norther Emily of Wild Solitude Guiding is here to talk about all things waterfalls: which make for the best hikes, when it’s okay to go off-trail, and when you should keep an eye out for landslides.
