The Columbia River Gorge, split between the northwestern U.S. states of Oregon and Washington, is one of the most scenic and beautiful natural areas in this region of the country. Following a route that runs 80 miles through the cascade range, this canyon is up to 2,000 feet deep and provides a spectacular range of views. While the gorge is beautiful in and of itself throughout its entirety, make sure to visit these three special spots on your trip there.

Multnomah Falls

On the Oregon side of the river, you will find Multnomah Falls, the most famous spot in the gorge. This waterfall cascades a total of 627 feet down from the mountains to the Columbia River and provides two incredible lookout spots at which you can marvel at the area’s beauty.

Beacon Rock State Park

Moving over to Washington, Beacon Rock State Park is another one of the gems of the Columbia River Gorge. 32 miles east of Vancouver, a massive basalt volcanic plug rises 848 feet above the river and the area around it provides beautiful hiking trails and spots from which to see both the river and the namesake rock.

Bonneville Dam

This man-made structure in the river was built in 1934 and protects the surrounding region from flooding in the area’s rainy conditions. You will marvel at the scope of the structure and the force with which the water pours through it from the idyllic meadows on either side of the river.

If we had to choose, the state of Oregon in the northwestern United States just might be the most beautiful in the entire country. Its endless beauty reflects a massive diversity of nature that stretches from its eastern desert plains to the verdant Pacific coast on its west side.

Now, choosing one favorite spot in Oregon is pretty difficult, but it might just be Multnomah Falls for me.

Scenically located in the Columbia River Gorge in northwest Oregon, just south of the border with Washington, visitors can see one of the United States’ most stunning waterfalls up close and personal in an accessible location.

This two-tiered waterfall has a total height of 620 feet, with a scenic and picturesque footbridge traversing Multnomah Creek between the two tiers. Only a short walk from a parking area, it’s possible to see and reflect on the wonder of this natural marvel from here.

However, those who are in shape and looking to do a little climb can also make the hike to the top of the falls! Two miles of steep switchback climb separate you from reaching the top of the falls and seeing a new perspective of the landmark as well as a panoramic view of the Columbia River Gorge.

In short, Multnomah Falls is an absolute must for any visitor to Oregon. It is truly a sight that must be seen to be believed.
