Multnomah Falls

Nothing is more beautiful that an amazing waterfall cascading through beautiful scenery. Multnomah Falls will not disappoint. This waterfall is the second highest waterfall in the United States. Each year, millions of people make their way to Oregon so they can see this stunning natural attraction.

Why is this waterfall so popular? Of course, the great beauty of the falls and the surrounding area plays a huge part. However, the biggest reason is the accessibility of Multnomah Falls. Often waterfalls are located in remote and difficult to access areas. This is not the case with this Oregon attraction. Whether you stay in the city of Portland or you choose to opt for Mt Hood lodging, you will find these falls only a short drive away.

A visit to Multnomah Falls makes the perfect family trip. Young, old and everyone in between will be able to appreciate the stunning beauty of the falls and of the Oregon landscape. At its longest drop, water plummets more than 500 feet down. That is a big drop for a waterfall.

As you visit this waterfall, you will find a long footbridge leading up to the falls. This bridge lets you truly experience the waterfall close up. Plus, it gives the perfect setting for some amazing pictures. You should also consider making the 1.2 mile hike to the top of the falls. While the waterfall is impressive from ground level, it is unbelievable from above.

If you will be in the Mt. Hood area, a visit to Multnomah Falls should be required. You will never have the opportunity to experience such a beautiful sight. Multnomah Falls will not disappoint. If you have time, see some of the other beautiful waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge like Bridal Veil Falls, Wahkeena Falls and Latourell Falls. Oregon is home to some of the most beautiful waterfalls and scenery in the country.

Your visit to Mt. Hood will be more memorable if you pair it with a trip to see the amazing Multnomah Falls. This is one of the most stunning waterfalls that you will ever see. And you will be looking at your photos for many years to come.
