One of my favorite hikes is up to the top of Multnomah Falls overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. It is the tallest falls in Oregon. The hike is 1 1/2 miles up. It is full of scenery. At the bottom of the falls is a restaurant that is worth checking out.
Sandy and I did this same hike a couple of years ago when we were visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Portland.
Unfortunately in 2017 a teenager playing with fireworks set the forest on fire so you will see some burnt trees in my pictures. It was a strange fire in that it jumped from tree to tree in some cases only scorching the bark, in other cases fully engulfing the tree. Fortunately Firefighters were able to save a lot of the area around the falls.
If you make it to Portland set aside a couple hours to do this hike.
Hi Guys, How great is it that you guys seem to be in the sun all the time, it must be following you. When we took the trails and saw the Multnomah Falls. I remember thinking this is way better than Niagara Falls. Well at least different with all the gorgeous scenery around. We hope to see that area again some day. Keep on truckin.
