White River & Canyon

21 Jun 2013 5 4 482
White River Falls State Park, Oregon, USA. The White River rises on Mt. Hood and flows eastward to the Deschutes River. We're looking downstream here, below White River Falls. The ruins of an abandoned hydropower station can be seen in the canyon; it dated from when natural falls were used to provide the hydraulic head. White River Falls themselves are out of sight in the canyon off the photo to the right. Map position highly approximate due to the loss of the scale/satellite view.
