Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls not just about the falls. Living most of my life in the Portland area, I have been to Multnomah Falls many time. I am still amazed as the massive water. But there's a lot of exploring to do behind the falls. After you've hiked to the bridge, keep going. There are miles of hiking trails, all beautiful and away from the crowds. The views from the trail are fabulous, looking out on the Columbia River Gorge. Also don't miss the falls in the winter. The spray forms ice all around the falls making it a true winter wonderland. You can pick up a map at the gift shop.…

gorgeous but waayyyyyy tooo crowded. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world -but its really not easy to experience the full effect when there are swarms of people everywhere- locals, busloads of tourists, and a suprising amount of employees standing around talking to each other or smoking cigarettes. I think you have to stop there at least once, but really the other falls on the historic highway are just as pretty and far less crowded. Dont forget to go all the way to Bonneville Dam and the Fish Hatchery before you haed back in to Portland though. The Hatchery in particular is really suprisingly beautiful, and theres lots more room to have a picnic and relax, even on the busiest days.…

You just have to. Multnomah Falls is just one of those things that you HAVE to do if your in the Portland area. I was so excited to go cause I had never been before. So we hiked up there (actually only like 5 min) but when we got there it was like, oh theres a water fall......ok lets go back down now. I actually had more fun in the gift shop :)…
