This image was taken from the small lake at Benson State Park in the Columbia River Gorge. Mist Falls deserves greater attention than it receives since at over 400 feet it is one of the tallest recognized waterfalls in Oregon. However, the falls is less than a mile from the waterfall king of Oregon, Multnomah Falls which likely has led to its relatively unknown status. And with a rather difficult and dangerous climb up an unstable talus slope to even get to the base that also contributes to its lesser status.
