Emerald Falls is a lush, multi-tiered waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge offering close foreground streams, mossy rock textures and a dramatic drop framed by evergreens. Photograph flowing water (spring runoff for volume), intimate details (lichen, ferns) and wide compositions that include the gorge. Best light is early morning or late afternoon for soft side-light and fewer visitors; overcast days give even exposure for long exposures. Accessible via a short trail from the Cascade Locks area
