Cascades
When Clark noted the "Cascades" on the Columbia River, he clearly was referring to the majestic waterfalls that appeared along the walls of the Columbia River Gorge, including Multnomah Falls and others. One can't help but wonder if later explorers and settlers inadvertently adopted Clark's name for these waterfalls as the name for the river rapids later called the Cascades of the Columbia.
