Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on Multnomah Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, about 44 km east of Portland in a straight line, reached from the Historic Columbia River Highway and Interstate 84. At 189 metres it is the tallest waterfall in Oregon. The falls drop in two steps over basalt cliffs: an upper fall of 165 metres and a lower fall of 21 metres, split by a zone of more easily eroded basalt at the base of the upper fall. The stone Multnomah Creek Bridge was built below the falls in 1914, and a pathway and lodge beside them in 1925. More than two million people visit each year, making it the most visited natural site in the US Pacific Northwest. A long white thread of water falls down a dark rock face covered in moss and green ferns, with a small arched stone bridge crossing between the two tiers. In hard winters its edges freeze into ice. Visitors stand at the base of the falls, climb to the bridge, and some continue up the switchback trail to a viewing deck above the falls' edge. It is crowded in summer, so arrive early.
