Multnomah Falls

Last week we covered 17 miles on hikes: 11 miles with the dogs in Forest Park and then a 6 mile waterfall loop at Multnomah Falls. Multnomah Falls is the highest waterfall in Oregon and grants gorgeous views of the Columbia Gorge.

The main fall: Multnomah.

First 1.25 miles is constant incline with 11 switchbacks. It may have been 44 degrees when we started, but at switchback 7 I was taking off layers and switching out my beanie for a bandana!

Views of the Gorge. The highest part of this hike was 3x the highest elevation of the entire state of Louisiana! ;)

We hopped over mini falls crossing the back trails, crossed bridges, and enjoyed the amazing beauty!



We hope to go back to do the even larger loop that is available there and we're continuing to scout out more hiking options. Definitely beautiful and makes us so glad to be back in Oregon!
