Elowah Falls in Multnomah is worth a visit🥰

#waterfall Elowah Falls is located between Multnomah and Wahchella. The parking lot is not large, and you can walk 1 mile upstream and 0.7 miles downstream for free. From the parking lot to around 0.4mi, you will encounter a fork in the road. To continue, you will go downstream, and to the right, you will go swimming. I strongly recommend going straight to the previous location, as the downstream scenery is more spectacular than the upstream, and the road is also easier to climb.

Multnomah Fallsis truly Breathtakingly Awesome❤️

#waterfall The location of the Oregon Falls. The small and numerous waterfalls around our town of Trane are due to high rainfall and mountainous terrain, and soon led to the emergence of several waterfalls. In addition to the most famous Multnomah Falls, I would like to recommend a few waterfalls around Portland that can be visited on the same day, are suitable for all seasons, and are very beautiful for everyone. 1 Multnomah Falls (Figure 2-4) is located half an hour from downtown Portland and attracts many tourists on weekends. It is recommended to go to the waterfall early. It is located next to the parking lot and does not require hiking if you climb to the source of the waterfall for a one-way distance of 2.3 miles and a round-trip time of 3-4 hours

Finally Saw the Multnomah Falls

Visiting Multnomah Falls in Oregon is a journey into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic natural wonders. Cascading over 620 feet, this two-tiered waterfall is a breathtaking sight that captivates visitors year-round. The easy hike to the base of the falls offers stunning views, with mist from the powerful waters cooling the air and creating a refreshing atmosphere. For those seeking a bit more adventure, a trail leads to Benson Bridge, where you can stand directly above the lower falls and feel the full force of the cascading water. Continue further up the trail for a more challenging hike that rewards you with panoramic views of the Columbia River Gorge. The lush, surrounding forest is rich with the scents and sounds of nature, making the hike as soothing as it is exhilarating. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just stopping by, Multnomah Falls offers an unforgettable experience, combining natural beauty with the thrill of discovery. #waterfalls

Portland Aerial Tram

#timetotravel We stopped by to see the Portland Aerial Tram which was pretty cool as it smoothly carries passengers on a viewing deck. It's also right where the 4T is—trail, tram, trolley, and train. As someone who's fascinated by public transportation systems, this was wonderful to see. I hope I can ride that tram some day when I come back though #travel #usa #tram #train #urbanexplorer #usa2023 #travel2023 #portland #oregon #awesomepic

Multnomah Falls

Getting There - You need to get to the gateway transit center which is about 20 minutes from downtown Portland on the metro. Once there pre book tickets from the website as there’s no wifi close by, it was around $15 for a return bus ticket. Once at the gateway transit look for “Columbia gorge express” it was located at the front of the bus line up when I went. Board and takes you right outside the falls.

The location is great and not too full of tourists so makes it easier to get around. Hotels - I didn’t see any near by hotels. However I stayed in Portland center and was able to get to the falls so easily. You could even Uber there for under $30 one way Food & Restaurants - Located right outside the falls is the “Multnomah Lodge” with a rustic style restaurant. Prices were great considering the location it was in and no competition near by. I got the club sandwich and was very satisfied. Shopping - The Falls are located in the middle of nowhere the only shop is the gift shop right outside where you will find your usual bits and pieces and a small snack stand outside so come prepared if you want more than that.

Multnomah Falls: Family-Fun-Festivities

We traveled from Vermont to Oregon for a wedding, but had a couple days to take in the sights. Multnomah Falls is a great place to take the family for a lovely view and a short easy walk. Our party included some elderly and handicapped folks so this was a perfect way for all of us to get up close to a spectacular waterfall. We thoroughly enjoyed the short easy hike and picked up a few mementos from the gift shop to bring home.

From the chimney of Tacoma all the way to Portland at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. I saw the sunrise in the fog of the industrial city, and also saw the pink sunset under the snowy mountain. I was fortunate to witness the wedding of a couple at the US military flight base. Perfect road trip to sleep under the stars as the end of the day.

If you want to experience the beauty of the forest park + the city, then the essential destination is Portland. In the Forest Reserve, the panoramic view of Portland, the Willamette River and the Columbia River, and the five peaks of the Cascade Mountains... all have a panoramic view of these tall pine trees. Since its inception... Forest Park has been a common sanctuary for humans and wildlife and an integral part of the Portland environment.
