Name of Waterfall

Big Brother Falls

Description

Big Brother Falls is a noisy little 22 foot tall waterfall along the White Salmon River a few miles outside of the Columbia Gorge. Immediately below the falls lies a second drop of about 10 feet referred to as Little Brother Falls, which is unfortunately much more difficult to see from any angle other than over the top. The falls are a popular attraction for kayakers all over the northwest but are not generally sought out by anyone else (partially due to the obscure, unmarked location).
