CASCADES LOCKS, Oregon (AP) -- Rain-swollen clouds caress towering walls of vertical volcanic rock that rise up on both sides of Eagle Creek Canyon, not far from the creek's confluence with the mighty Columbia River.

Heavy rain is falling on this recent winter day. Water is coming not just from the sky. It's also plunging over the 150-foot (45-meter) ancient rock walls -- in the form of ribbons of runoff that can be seen up and down the precipitous valley.
