Discovery
The first white settlers to discover the falls were members of a hunting party from the Lewis and Clark Expedition in March 1806. The falls are viewable from a roadside parking lot. They are popular recreational destination for sightseeing, hiking, as well as swimming in the pool below the falls. The falls often appear in television commercials and have also appeared in three movies: Free Willy 2, Benji the Hunted and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3.

Famous quotes containing the word discovery:
“That the discovery of this great truth, which lies so near and obvious to the mind, should be attained to by the reason of so very few, is a sad instance of the stupidity and inattention of men, who, though they are surrounded with such clear manifestations of the Deity, are yet so little affected by them, that they seem as it were blinded with excess of light.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universal ... that error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
