1. Multnomah Falls is a waterfall located on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, about 30 miles east of Portland. It is the tallest waterfall in the state, with a total height of 620 feet, and is one of the most visited natural attractions in Oregon. The falls are fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain and are split into two sections: the upper falls, which drop 542 feet, and the lower falls, which drop 69 feet. The site also features a bridge over the falls and several hiking trails that provide stunning views of the surrounding area.
2. The site is open seven days a week, year-round, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with longer hours during the summer months. The phone number for general information is 503-695-2372.
3. Access to the falls and parking are free, but there is a fee for the Multnomah Falls Lodge and Visitor Center, which offers food, beverages, and souvenirs. There are also guided tours available for a fee. Transportation options include driving, taking public transportation, or booking a guided tour through a local company.
