(Portland, OR) -- A Portland-area woman is dead after a fall in the Columbia Gorge, near the Oneonta Trailhead. Twenty-two-year-old Elisha Macias, of Hillsboro, was hiking on the Horsetail Falls trail system with friends Sunday afternoon when she separated from the others, went off-trail, and fell off a 50- to 60-foot cliff. Other hikers found her and called for help, while starting CPR. Cascade Locks first responders arrived and determined the woman was dead.
