Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is the jewel of the Columbia River Gorge, the second-tallest year-round waterfall in the nation. The water of the falls drops 620 feet from its origin on Larch Mountain in two major steps, split into an upper falls and a lower falls. Unusually cold weather can freeze the plummeting water into a majestic icicle.

A foot trail leads to a 45-foot-long footbridge that allows visitors to cross 105 feet above the lower falls. The trail continues to a platform at the top of the upper falls, the Larch Mountain Lookout, where visitors get a bird’s-eye view of the Columbia Gorge. Multnomah Falls Lodge, completed in 1925, is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Multnomah Falls is the most-visited natural attraction in Oregon.
