This is one of the most spectacular waterfalls I've ever visited. I rank it way up there with Victoria Falls!......Okay, maybe that is a bit of a stretch, but really, it is absolutely worth visiting.
This is the most popular stop along the Columbia River Highway, definitely take the ultra-scenic route here (as I mentioned in another review) as there are lots of beautiful falls and scenic overlooks along the way. Multnomah Falls is by far the largest and most impressive of all the falls!! It was stunning to see! There are 3 spots to see the falls from. The base, walk up to the bridge, and then from the very top. We didn't walk up to the very top seeing as we didn't have a lot of time and thought the views from the other 2 points were really amazing!
I have been here before, but love coming back to see this waterfall. It is one of the most beautiful places. Hope to make it back in the summer.
走上去來回花了1個小時至少。瀑布四季有不同的景色,gift shop可以買到四季的照片。感覺春天會漂亮點。在瀑布下面水迎面而來的感覺很好。最頂端的觀景台可以看到遠處很漂亮的景色。
This was very a very beautiful hike. There are a series of falls along the gorge ending with Mutnomah. Multnomah it self is a short hike to the top of the falls but it is a very steep hike. Both my 3 and 6 year old made it though. It was over corwded for the 1st day of March. Couldn't imagine how bad it is in the summer. IF possible it is worth parking one set of falls up and walking the .25 miles. There are some little snack shaks at the base of the falls. The restraunt is not for the average hiker but a clean and properly dressed adults. still amazing and beautiful.
We only hiked half way up. Next time we are going to the top. This is a must see must enjoy! Very beautiful and majestic!
One of the most beautiful places on earth. Magical, green place, easy hike, and great tourist shop for remembering a amazing place.
Parking is small, so get there early or circle around looking for a spot. We noticed that the parking lot between I84 was closed/full, so we had to drive up to the next exit and circle back. It was the best accident ever. It was extremely scenic and awesome detour. Once we parked we were on our way to the bridge. We didnt have much time to do the full hike, but the small hike to the bridge was good enough for me to get some awesome views of the falls.
I love coming here. It is nice to take a hundred or two hundred pictures. Every few steps up, is a different world. Pity that for safety reasons one cannot go behind the falls anymore, the guilty boulder that caused it is still there are the bottom of the Falls for all to see.Take the main interstate, access is easily made from the centre of the highway parking lot with a bomb shelter style short tunnel under the highway.It is definitely worth visiting many times.There is a terrific gift shop with very decent prices, staff are good but the prices are really decent. Selection is very good too. If one goes to Portland and they only see this, it is totally worth it!
Multnomah Falls needs to be on the Top 10 "To See" list of anyone coming to the Pacific Northwest and probably one of the Top 3 things to do if just visiting the Portland area. Like Snoqualmie Falls near Seattle it's easily accessible (which actually is a bit of a problem at peak times) and never runs out of water.Our most recent visit in March 2015 came while an unusually warm and dry winter was leaving its mark on the region. The nice thing was not having to deal with snow or rain but I'm sure that'll come back and bite us all later. On this particular Sunday the backup for the parking lot stretched out onto the fast lane of the freeway, a potentially dangerous issue. However, [most] people were behaving in a civil way in the parking lot which meant the line was moving.After entering the property you come up to the gift shop/restaurant at the trail head. The walk to the overpass is about 0.2 miles up a pretty narrow, wet, paved trail. Exercise caution and try not to attempt the climb in high heels. There are many spots where great photos can be taken (this is a great place to play with shutter speeds and ISO settings) but keep in mind there's a lot of mist the higher up you get so protect your camera accordingly.One enterprising romantic proposed to his future bride while at the base of the climb (in front of lots of friends and supportive onlookers). Just a hint, guys... (she said yes)For best pictures (and smaller crowds) it really might pay to visit around sunrise and sunset, especially in the summer when more sunlight hits the falls.Don't leave the area without checking this destination out!
