Multnomah Falls, OR

Rising 620 feet in two dramatic tiers, Multnomah Falls is one of the most iconic waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest.

Fed year-round by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the waterfall plunges down a sheer basalt cliff before passing beneath the historic Benson Bridge and continuing to the pool below. Mist drifts through the surrounding forest while moss and ferns cover the canyon walls, creating the lush atmosphere that defines the Columbia River Gorge.

Standing at the base of the falls, the constant roar of the water and the cool spray in the air make it clear why this has been one of Oregon’s most visited natural landmarks for more than a century.

It’s a place where water, stone, and forest come together in perfect balance.
