	Cascades; Columbia River Gorge; Erosion; Erosion Features; Fluvial Features; Geomorphology; Landform Evolution; Lava Flows; Pepper Mountain; Streams; Water Erosion	The 249 foot high, 20 foot wide Latourell Falls cascades down a cliff on the north side of Pepper Mountain in giant steps into the Columbia River Gorge. Water flow is significant only in the late Winter and Spring months when snow melts increase the amount of ground water. The Columbia River Gorge is a story of successive lava flows and numerous devastating floods, about one each Ice Age, from the melting of Lake Missoula behind the Spokane Ice Dam a few hundred miles to the northeast.

	Cascades; Columbia River Gorge; Erosion; Erosion Features; Fluvial Features; Geomorphology; Landform Evolution; Larch Mountain; Lava Flows; Streams; Water Erosion	Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. It falls down the series of massive lava flows that are evident in the cliffs of the gorge. In two steps the falls drop a total of 620 feet (189 m), split into an upper falls of 542 feet and a lower falls of 69 feet, with a gradual nine-foot vertical distance between the two. It is claimed to be the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States. Underground springs from Larch Mountain are the year-round source of water for the waterfall, augmented by spring runoff from the mountain's snow pack and rainwater during the other seasons.

	Cascades; Erosion; Erosion Features; Fluvial Features; Geomorphology; Glaciofluvial Features; Landform Evolution; Meltwater; Water Erosion	This is a view of Takakkaw Falls in British Columbia's Yoho National Park. The meltwater of the Daly Glacier plummets over 1200 feet in one of the tallest waterfalls in the Rocky Mountains. The height of this waterfall is commonly disputed. The vertical fall has been officially measured at 853 feet, however, that doesn't take into account the cascades below or above it.
