Multnomah Falls is a breathtaking waterfall located in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon. It’s one of the most iconic natural landmarks in the Pacific Northwest, standing at a height of 620 feet (189 meters), and has more than 1.3 million visitors a year taking in the views. The falls are fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, creating a stunning two-tiered cascade.
