If you love all things retro, Portland is one of the places you should visit at least once in a lifetime. Oregon’s largest city also happens to be surrounded by many beautiful natural wonders—including Multnomah Falls.
Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon and one of the best day trip destinations you can visit while in Portland. It’s located on Multnomah Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, about 30 miles outside of Portland.
This waterfall has been popular with tourists for decades, and Multnomah Falls Lodge was built to accommodate the visitors all the way back in 1925. The surrounding area is just as equally breathtaking, and many nature lovers come here to enjoy stunning views of the Columbia Gorge.
Pathways and a viewing bridge, named after Simon Benson who commissioned it, make the visit to Multnomah Falls even more epic. If you’re lucky enough to visit it when weather conditions are good, you can also enjoy a hike to the top that will make you appreciate the beauty of this waterfall even more.
