Magnificant waterfall
Multnomah Falls is one of Oregon's top attractions. This 611 foot tall surging waterfall is in the beautiful Columbia Gorge, located about 30 minutes east of Portland. The falls is so high up, you can see if from the highway, but it's a good idea to park in the lot at the Multnomah Falls exit to get even closer to it. From the lot, it's only a 5 minute walk to get a beautiful view of the falls. Take the paved trail that winds uphill, across the bridge, and onto the ledge of the cliff, and you will get a mind-blowing perspective of this powerful force of nature. The icy water plummets year round and does not dry up in the summer, From there, continue on the trail which heads into the forest, or head back down to the historic Multnomah Falls lodge for some food and souvenirs.
