Multnomah Falls on the Columbia Gorge
Post # 20 from 101 cool Portland places - Multnomah Falls on the Columbia Gorge.
Ready for an excellent Sunday adventure? Get in your car, or for those with more energy then me, get on your bike and head out to Multnomah Falls along the Columbia Gorge. I have been to the Falls on several occasions, most every one of them was with family or friends from out of state and looking for a fun tourist adventure to take them to. Many families moving or relocating to Portland Oregon always find this place to be on top of their list as sites to see.Just drive east of the 84 Freeway for approx. 30 minutes out of Portland and Shazamo! You come into this gorgeous view of water plummeting to its un-living death.
There is a nice hike to enjoy along with the scenery. For some, just up to the bridge is perfect. I personally enjoy hiking all the way up to the top of the waterfall and beyond. The hike is kinda steep and at times I am out of breath and I feel like a 2-pack-a-day smoker (even tough I never bougth a pack in my life). Once at the top you can look down and dream about being superman and just flying away. Is that just me? The view is serisouly AMAZING. You can even see Russia….right Sarah?
Plummeting 620 feet from its origins on Larch Mountain, Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the nation. There is the Multnomah Falls travel lodge that was built in 1925 with nice little gifts and souvenirs to buy, food to snack on and a place to enjoy the scenery. So if you are thinking about a Portland relocation and love hikes, scenery, water and an amazing time. Multomah Falls is the place to be.
