Willamette Falls

Willamette Falls is the second-largest waterfall by volume in the United States, located on the Willamette River between Oregon City and West Linn, Oregon. This horseshoe-shaped cascade is over 1,500 feet wide and drops about 40 feet, offering a dramatic and powerful display of natural beauty.
