Multnomah Falls, Oregon, USA


Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge,located east of Troutdale,between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway.

The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m). The two drops are due to a zone of more easily eroded basalt at the base of the upper falls.
