Last summer I was slowly ambling along the Columbia River Highway east of Portland Oregon for the first time. I had no idea what to expect, but was amazed and delighted to discover Multnomah Falls right beside the highway! At 620 ft, Multnomah Falls is the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States after Yosemite Falls. Photos usually contain the entire falls, including a 45 ft long footbridge. I preferred to focus on the lower part of the falls and the pool at the bottom. Small green plants (no botanist here) cling to the steep rock walls. I hope you love my discovery as much as I do.

Sauvie Island, situated ten miles north of Portland, Oregon, is an essential part of the wetland system along the Columbia River that’s used by thousands of migratory birds each year. While kayaking Sturgeon Lake, which occupies the center of the island, I observed Tree Swallows hunting the lake’s surface at dusk, their long, sweeping runs interrupted by abrupt rolls and dives as they chased their insect prey.

I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 350D, with EOS Lens 18 – 55mm. / BEST VIEWED LARGE. TAKEN AS IS. You know to walk up this path is a work out. lol. When I saw how the people looked on the bridge I wanted to use this perspective to show how massive the falls are. Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon. Underground springs from Larch Mountain are the year-round source of water for the waterfall, augmented by spring runoff from the mountain’s snowpack and rainwater during the other seasons. A foot trail leads to Benson Footbridge, a 45-foot (14 m)-long footbridge that allows visitors to cross 105 feet (32 m) above the lower cascade. The trail continues to a platform at the top of the upper falls, the Larch Mountain Lookout, where visitors get a bird’s-eye view of the Columbia Gorge and also of “Little Multnomah”, a small cascade slightly upstream from the “upper” falls, which is not visible from ground level. The footbridge is named after Simon Benson, who had the bridge built in 1914. Benson soon gave Portland land that included most of the falls as well as nearby Wahkeena Falls. The Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company gave Portland land at the base of Multnomah Falls contingent upon their agreement to build a lodge at the site. A few years later architect A.E. Doyle, who designed the Meier & Frank Building, was commissioned by the city to design the lodge, which was completed in 1925.[citation needed] The lodge is now on the National Register of Historic Places. / In contrast to other falls along the Gorge, the Multnomah area is also reachable via a stretch of I-84 east of Troutdale, Oregon. The rest area and tunnel under the road (as well as the Union Pacific Railroad tracks) allow Interstate travelers from either direction to stop and visit the falls. Origin legend / There is a Native American legend that explains the origins of the falls. In this legend, a tribe was infected with a deadly disease and was in danger of dying. The daughter of the chief went to the top of a cliff and prayed to the Great Spirit to find how she could stop the epidemic. She was told that to stop the epidemic, she would have to throw herself off the cliff and sacrifice herself. She did this and died. The next day, the chief found his daughter’s body at the bottom of the cliff. He wept bitterly and cried out to the Great Spirit to give him a sign if this sacrifice was not in vain. At that moment, water began to fall from the top of the cliff, forming Multnomah Falls. The legend also says that under the right conditions, you can see the daughter’s face in the waterfall.

Multnomah Bridge passes over between two waterfalls that compose of Multnomah Falls which is east of Portland, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge. This waterfall was so much fun to shot. I walked the mile trail from the bottom to the top. I took pictures the whole way up. This image is as is, not edited or enhanced in any way. Straight from the camera.

During our last road trip through the US, we went back home using a different route yet again and this time bringing us through the Gorge area (Columbia River). What a beautiful area and amazing waterfalls that we encountered before it started raining. One of the most impressive was the Multnomah Falls. Took this is B&W as the lighting didn`t seem to be collaborating. / Slow shutter and tripod used. / Canon Xt with my Sigma 17-35 mm lens Here more info about this one / Multnomah Falls is, of course, THE place to stop for tourists in the Columbia River Gorge area in Oregon. It is awesome how this waterfall seems to “tower” over everything, a sight to see. However, you will not have this wonderful waterfall to yourself. Try to get there early in the morning to avoid the rush. At around sunrise, there will probably be very few, if any, other people here, and it is a wonderful experience viewing this waterfall with no one else around. But at any other time of day, the hordes of people around the falls ruin the experience in my opinion. After you have had enough time basking in the presence of Multnomah, hike up to the top of the waterfall (2 miles RT). There’s not really a good view of the falls from the top, but there are other waterfalls up there, and also some good views of the Columbia River, and you can peer down at all the people looking up at the falls from the viewpoints below. / More info can be found at : http://www.waterfallswest.com/ and from there go in Oregon and find Multnomah falls. / Cheers

Horsetail Fall, Oregon located about 1/2 mile from the famous Multnomah Falls on the located on the Historic Columbia River Highway . This particular waterfall actually will spray/splash on the Columbia River Highway when it is running at it’s full capacity in the rainy winter and spring seasons. Right now, it’s probably at it’s lowest fall rate. Taken with my Nikon D80 Most Popular / My Favorites / Dahlias / Cards and Collages Please visit my bubblesite.
