How to get there
N45° 32' 14.5284"W122° 13' 04.6308"
This photo of Latourell Falls was taken from the walkway bridge directly opposite the waterfall.
To reach this viewpoint, you first need to find your way to the Latourell Falls trailhead parking lot (45.538835, -122.217821) off Historic Columbia River Highway.
Once parked, you'll see an obvious path by the sign at the front of the parking area. This path, however, only takes you up to a view of the falls from further back. To get to the base of the waterfall, follow the trail at the far right side of the parking area as you face the falls. Continue down this paved path for 1 minute. Go down to the little bridge across the stream, pointing your camera looking back up at the waterfall.
