You may not be familiar with Multnomah Falls, but it is absolutely one of the most amazing placesin the world. A waterfall as magnificent and memorable as any in the country is located just a 30- minute drive outside of Portland. Visiting Multnomah Falls, a 611-foot-tall roaring, awe-inspiring cascade of icy water, lets you experience the power and beauty of nature up close and with ease. From the parking area off of I-84,a 5-minute walk is all that separates you from the exhilarating spray at the base of the falls.
