A Waterfall Lover's Guide Pacific Northwest : Where To Find Hundreds Of Spectacular Waterfalls In Washington, Oregon, And Idaho
by Gregory A. Plumb

Tracking waterfalls for more than twenty-five years, a true aficionado locates and describes 634 waterfalls in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho (and then lists 777 more in the index!).

It's hard to imagine a more complete guide to Pacific Northwest waterfalls than this one. Or a man more devoted to sharing their beauty than Greg Plumb: for his initial inventory, he examined more than 3500 U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. Since then he has driven and hiked thousands of spray-soaked miles to document waterfalls throughout the region.

To help you select, each waterfall is keyed for accessibility by car, on foot, or by canoe or raft and rated for magnitude and aesthetic value. Are you in the mood for a punchbowl waterfall? Or do you prefer a horsetail, fan, plunge, or tiered form? He notes which falls can be seen right from the road, are viewed from a swinging footbridge, descend from glacial meltwaters, were formed by the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, or have salmon attempting to jump them.
