Multnomah falls is one of the most beautiful and spectacular waterfalls
I've ever seen. It's located just a 30 minute drive east of Portland.
The waterfall is the second highest (611 foot tall) in the country and
draws over 2 million visitors very year.
You can trek up to the bridge for a closer view of the waterfall, or hike up all the way to the top (0.8 miles) where you can see and feel the magnificent beauty and power of Multnomah falls. There is also a lodge (Multnomah Falls Lodge) at the base of the waterfall and it has a restaurant, gift shop, and visitor information.
There are over 70 waterfalls in and around I-84 corridor of the Columbia River Gorge. In fact, I parked at Wahkeena falls (0.6 miles west of Multnomah falls) and hiked Wahkeena falls trail to Multnomah falls because Multnomah falls parking lot was full with a half mile long traffic.
By the way, if you have read the book or seen the film "Wild", Bridge of the Gods is not so far from Multnomah falls for a side trip (about 15 minute drive I-84 east of Multnomah falls). Who knows you might be inspired to hike PCT!
