Multnomah Falls




Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). The two drops are due to a zone of more easily eroded basalt at the base of the upper falls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multnomah_Falls
A waterfall as magnificent and memorable as any in the country is located just a 30- minute drive outside of Portland. Visiting Multnomah Falls, a 611-foot-tall roaring, awe-inspiring cascade of icy water, lets you experience the power and beauty of nature up close and with ease. From the parking area off of I-84, a 5-minute walk is all that separates you from the exhilarating spray at the base of the falls. http://www.oregon.com/attractions/multnomah_falls
According to Native American lore, Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe.
The falls are arguably `the grandaddy` of the 77 waterfalls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. At 620 feet, it is named in virtually every World Book and Almanac under the "tallest waterfalls of the world" section. Multnomah Falls is the undisputed best waterfall in Oregon and none are more beautiful. https://www.fs.fed.us/visit/destination/multnomah-falls
