Excursions / Day Trips
Dropping 620 spectacular feet, Multnomah Falls is the tallest of the Columbia River Gorge’s many waterfalls (77 on the Oregon side, to be exact). It’s one of Oregon’s most visited and photographed natural sites, attracting more than two million sightseers a year.
Because of the falls’ popularity, parking is very limited. Crowds and delays are common during spring, summer and autumn, especially on weekends.
Your host Sarah is a local guide who offers transportation to Multnomah Falls and through the spectacular Columbia River Gorge.
