Multnomah Falls
Just 30 minutes’ drive outside Portland, lies a 611-foot-tall awe-inspiring waterfall known as Multnomah Falls. Experience breath-taking natural beauty as the cascading icy water flows into the misty base below, as you stand upon Benson Bridge for that Instagram worthy picture you’ve been waiting for!
The sheer magnitude of these falls will blow you away, and according to Native American Mythology this stunning waterfall was created by a beautiful maiden, the daughter of a tribal chief, who sacrificed herself to save her local people from a plague by throwing herself off the cliff. The Tribe was saved, and Multnomah Falls began to flow from that day forward.
