Just a half hour outside of Portland are the most beautiful falls. We wished we had known they had a great lodge with a lovely menu because we would have eaten breakfast here. It was may and rainy so we didn't meet any crowds. The hike to the old bridge was quiet and a quick ten minute walk. We highly... More

I had seen several pictures of Multnomah Falls prior to visiting, and between my wife and I we took about 200 more pictures when we were there... and not one of them really does it justice! The falls are one of the most impressive natural phenomena I've ever seen - absolutely incredible! We went on a weekday, and it was... More

The falls themselves is beautiful. They have done a good job of trying to keep the area clean and protect it from the impact that the thousands of visitors have every year. The walk up to the bridge is easy and worth it. I didn't have a chance to go the extra mile up to the top - next time.... More

We took a car ride to see the falls on a damp spring day. The ride was beautiful, the scenic highway was closed so we could not go to the lookout area over the gorge. Once we arrived at the falls it was great, there was a surprise with the search and rescue teams and horses on display which my... More

Multnomah Falls is definitely worth the visit! My wife and I love waterfalls and when we heard about these we had to visit. They are the second tallest waterfalls in the United States. The area is absolutely stunning in beauty and scenery! The hike up to the bridge is not difficult and the path is paved and in great shape.... More

Be sure to take the walk all the way to the top for spectacular views of the falls and the surrounding area. Be sure to look up to see all the people on the bridge high above where you will eventually be.

Great views from the bottom,bridge gave it a nice accent. Takes an hour hike on paved road to reach the top but only 5 min to the bridge. Bathrooms are clean. Haven't tried the restaurant so I can't give you a review. Worth visiting once you're in Portland. Needs 2-3 hrs if you're hiking on top. No need for hiking... More

THIS caught me totally off guard as i approached the restuarant, can't even remember the name of that as i was stunned by the sight of this work of art by the natural world, it is the second largest year round waterfall in the United States. There are well marked trails and many photo opportunities abound, for those more adventuresome... More

Multnomah Falls is a short drive from Portland, OR and it is worth it. Be sure to allow enough toe walk around, and hike up to the bridge. Take your camera to record the beauty and memory.
