PORTLAND, Ore.—A young woman died after falling off a cliff while hiking in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge, officials said Monday.
Elisha Angelic Macias, 22, was hiking with friends Sunday near Horsetail Falls, about 35 miles (56.3 kilometers) east of Portland. After separating from the group and going off trail, she fell an estimated 50 to 60 feet (15.2 to 18.3 meters), the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said in an emailed statement. No one in the group saw her fall.
