Things To Do
Multnomah Falls
Multnomah Falls is one of Oregon's most iconic natural wonders, and it is right off of the highway! In the summer, this majestic waterfall, cascading 620 feet, is a must-see. Start your visit with a short hike to the Benson Bridge for an up-close view of the falls and the surrounding lush forest. For the more adventurous, continue the hike to the top for an unforgettable perspective. The nearby historic Multnomah Falls Lodge offers a cozy spot to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee with a view. If you have additional time, feel free to explore the scenic trails and viewpoints along the Columbia River Gorge! **Make sure to purchase a $2 visiting permit for entry: https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10089144
