Travel | Multnomah Falls, Oregon

On my way out of Portland, my parents and I stopped by Multnomah Falls which had breathtaking  views of the waterfall as well as from Benson Bridge of the Cascade Mountains and Columbia River Gorge. You may have seen snippets of the Falls from my a couple outfit posts ago.

It is said that 'According to Native American lore, Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe. Although you can see the top portion of the falls from the highway, to view both tiers you have to walk to the viewing area located in a carved-out opening in the rock face. Tilting your head up in the narrow rocky confines of the steep cliffs, you get a mind-boggling perspective on the sheer magnitude of the falls.'

I had not heard of Multnomah Falls before, but it is known to be an Oregon Icon, and some regard this destination as one of the wonders of the world.  I was blown away at how simple the trek up the windy path was that lead to the bridge (and continues to the top of the falls). We arrived at 12:30pm, and were fortunate enough to find parking because it was pretty packed. If visiting, try to plan for a morning trip, and end your attraction visit with a meal or snack at the Multnomah Falls lodge. During the summer months visitors can enjoy numerous snack bar items such as cold & hot drinks, pastries, soft serve ice cream, and snow cones. Located in Bridal Veil, Oregon; about 30 minutes away from Portland, Multnomah Falls will not fail to give you a spectacular nature experience.
