Discovering Oregon #1 (White River Falls)

I found a great resource for finding some amazing waterfalls lately (at http://www.waterfallsnorthwest.com/nws) and decided to check out White River Falls near Maupin, OR.
I must say this one is a trully hidden gem.

Another interesting discovery was a small abandoned water power plant that used to supply power to Central Oregon between 1910 and 1960.

On the way to White River Falls I've stopped at the Rowena Crest Viewpoint - turns out even at 8.30am I was still too late, I'll need to get back there at sunset.
