I think Oregon can give WA a good run for its money in the waterfall category.

I was going to say the same thing. Oregon and Washington are neck and neck for best waterfalls. Oregon's coast is superior to Washington. Washington's mountains are far superior to Oregon's. That said, both States are gorgeous.

Agree for the most part. Wallowas in OR are pretty insane but honestly so far away from population centers in WA/ OR that they almost seem like Idaho

Don’t fret WA smokes us in the epic mountains category, and has great waterfalls. Just saying I think the waterfall hikes in Oregon hold an edge. Silver falls, Columbia River gorge, koosah/ Sahalie, tumalo, salt creek, Umpqua River to name a few

I meet several people every week that tell me that Washington doesn’t have the most beautiful waterfalls!!

I'm so glad someone is raising awareness for this major issue we all face.

The most basic waterfall in WA is like a top 10 attraction in most states.

That honestly applies to everything in WA

I think I’m the only person in the state that’s happy when they clean it 😂

No I'm with you, I watched last time around and it was so satisfying

I plan to move to WA in the next few years, because Alaska is just too far and Iceland isn't realistic for me. This, this is why I choose WA.

Btw if anyone has any pointers or reviews of the Mt Vernon area, I'd love to have someone I can ask about it

Well you’re wro….. right. 😜 There is some waterfalls in Minnesota that I would have to say comes in second place. (From what I have seen in person.)

They stay beautiful when people stay on the designated paths made to enjoy them.

I actually highly disagree with this. In many natural areas, the concentration of hikers on one line has created a path that may never heal, even in centuries. However, when people spread out and make little individual impact, the effect is negligible as plant life is meant to support the weight of wildlife.

The only time people ever complain about going off path damaging the landscape is when people create another path.
