Multnomah Falls is arguably `the grandaddy` of the 77 waterfalls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. At 620 feet, only three falls in the nation are higher, and none are more beautiful. It attracts large crowds on summer weekends, so plan accordingly. A trail from famous Multnomah Falls Lodge (1925) climbs to the Simon Benson Bridge across the lower cascade, then zigzags to the top.

Fall folliage alert: Autumn’s fiery colors provide a stunning backdrop for Multnomah Falls. To get the full spectrum, you can hike to the top of the falls. It’s 1.2 miles and gains about 600 feet in elevation. Once you’re at the top of the falls, you can take the six-mile Wahkeena Loop Trail, or continue on to the top of Larch Mountain to extend your colorful hike.

    I have been going to Multnomah Falls area since I was kid, now 31 and still feel like a kid every time I get to go back. Beautiful area, hikes not hard and well worth the views.

    October 13, 2006 (yes, it’s a Friday) But there was no cursed weather or bad luck on this day. Day #2 of promoting Oregon’s Culinary Tourism in conjunction with our statewide Oregon Bounty was another whirlwind of activity but, as always…
