This episode discusses the recent attention surrounding Abiqua Falls, including its sale and the challenges hikers face to reach it.

While all of Oregon’s beautiful waterfalls deserve our attention, one in particular has been getting national headlines lately. On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we talk all about Abiqua Falls, the Silverton-area waterfall that went up for sale on Redfin over the winter, causing a stir locally and turning heads across the country. While the unusual sale has been the focus of recent attention, there’s a lot more to discuss about the beloved landmark, including its still uncertain fate and the treacherous journey hikers face to get there. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: How did a waterfall end up on Redfin? What’s the latest with the sale? Could Abiqua Falls really become an Oregon state park?
