1. No. 698 Foot trail bridge at Wah-kee-na Falls. Columbia Highway Ore.
No. 698 Foot trail bridge at Wah-kee-na Falls. Columbia Highway Ore.
Description
A black-and-white photograph. At the bottom in white ink is written "No. 698 Foot trail bridge at Wah-kee-na Falls. Columbia Highway Ore." The leafy branches of a tree form a frame of the view to the left of the photo. Beyond, the white blur of the waterfall rushes down the cliff and continues as a creek under the arched stone bridge in the foreground. About eight women and men, and two boys, stand along the bridge gazing at the waterfall. The men and women all wear hats, and the men wear suits. The women wear ankle-length dresses. Off to the side of the waterfall stand two men, a woman, and a child, similarly garbed and also looking towards the water. All three adults have walking sticks, and some of the people on the bridge also have them. The Yakima word "wahkeena" means "most beautiful".

Description
A black-and-white photo. The caption in white ink at the bottom reads "Noggi Wah-kee-na-falls Columbia Highway Ore." The waterfall tumbles down from a cleft in the cliffs and descends in tiers, at last running under an arched stone bridge to form a small stream that runs along gravelly banks lined with leafy plants and trees. On top of the cliffs are evergreens.
3. No. 32 Ghost Falls, a section of Wah-kee-na Falls. Columbia River Highway, Oregon
No. 32 Ghost Falls, a section of Wah-kee-na Falls. Columbia River Highway, Oregon
Description
A black-and-white photograph of a waterfall identified as Ghost Falls, and said to be a section of Wah-kee-na Falls, located off the Columbia River Highway. The water seems to both be running over tiers of rounded rocks, and to have a second level gushing out over them. The view is framed by leafy trees and ferns, and a long branch seems to run from the foreground of the photo into the mist of the waterfall. A mossy tree trunk or rocks seems to be in the foreground of the photo. "Wah-kee-na" is said to be the Yakima word for "most beautiful".
