Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Outlet Falls was kind of an obscure 120-150ft plunging waterfall deep in the steep Klickitat Canyon.

It was almost as if this waterfall was an afterthought or off the tourism infrastructure radar because you have to know where it is to even stop for it.

As of our visit in late June 2021, there’s no signage, no formal viewpoint, no formal parking spaces, and really no hint of there being something here except for a couple of roadside posts (see directions below).

Anyways, once we finally found the correct spot to park the car, I then had to do a rather sketchy scramble to find a suitable place to view Outlet Falls without threatening my safety from the precipitous cliffs.

The rocky outcrop that I found was towards the downstream side where I managed to find a ledge providing the view of Outlet Falls that you see above.

While I noticed there were other use-trails (possibly mostly false trails), I did see some evidence of people managing to get to the bottom of the canyon and the base of the falls.

I didn’t bother trying to find that as I’d imagine there would be significant risk to safety to pull that off.

Indeed, this was pretty much a look-but-don’t-touch kind of waterfall, and I managed to wrap up my visit in less than a half-hour.
