First, Multnomah Falls is the second largest drop in the US. Spectacular and easy to reach! Then, there is a place to eat that is nice. And further, the variety of folks who visit the falls is in itself another entertainment. People from all over the globe show up and take pictures of themselves and their families and pets.

A short 30 minute drive from Portland, and you are in paradise. Weekdays are better due to weekend bus tours and limited parking. Once you're there, be sure to at least walk the very easy .2 hike to the footbridge, with a spectacular view of the upper falls. Dogs are also welcome. Do yourself a favor and stop at Wahkeena...

We had one of those beautiful moments. It had been raining hard, but when we stopped, the sun came out! The falls were inspiring and delightful for our whole family.

The Falls offer another one of Mother Nature's wonders!

Best to visit Vista Point and then take that road down to the Multnomah Falls :)

beautiful hikes - short or longer up to the top of the falls or to the footbridge. nice family outing.

You can come right near these very high and lovely falls. They are located in a beautiful setting, right next to the cliffs overlooking the Columbia River and near the river, itself a great setting. The falls are a short drive from downtown Portland.

This is a don't miss trip if you are anywhere near this area!!!

Is a very scenic day trip but is not so much fun with little kids.
