Multnomah Falls, cascading a stunning 632 feet, stands as a towering symbol of nature’s grace in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge. Comprising a 542-foot upper fall and a 69-foot lower fall, this two-tiered wonder offers a mesmerizing display of water’s journey from cliff to basin. The constant flow, sourced from underground springs, ensures its year-round allure. A site rich in cultural history and natural beauty, the falls not only captivate hikers and nature enthusiasts but also echo the timeless tales of the Pacific Northwest.

At over 600 feet tall, this lofty two-tier plunge is often celebrated as Oregon’s tallest waterfall, annually drawing more than 2 million visitors.
