Oregon Hikers Field Guide: Starvation Creek Waterfalls Hike

From the Starvation Creek Trailhead, walk west beside the freeway on the paved Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. Cabin Creek Falls, 220 feet in two tiers, is the first waterfall on the way. A huge fallen basalt boulder stands in front of it and hides much of the view; a scramble trail leads up to a rock overhang at the base. Return the same way, or continue west to Hole-in-the-Wall Falls.
