Always worth a quick hike for some misty views . Beware, lots of people and you’ll likely get wet standing near the base of the falls. But great photos and spending time outdoors makes it worthwhile!

Rory Parness

Avoid the crazy traffic on east 30 by parking at the lower lot at Wahkeena Falls. Hike the ,2 miles to see Wahkeena and then enjoy the easy .5 mile hike to Multnomah

Multnomah Falls is The falls drops in two major steps between the two so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 189 m Multnomah is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon

Courtney Slabaugh

Breathtaking!!! This view is right behind the visitors center and the walk to the bridge is very short . Go inside the visitors center and read about the history!

Stefani K

Such a great view from the bridge , just a short hike from the bottom viewing area, but many other trails to take up to the top of you are feeling adventurous. Dog-friendly! But gets crowded !

Nathaniel Jackson

Come early to avoid the crowd. Seeing the falls make you appreciate the awesomeness of Mother Nature!

Priscilla Leung

The hype is real. This is only a 30-40min drive from Portland and so worth it. Go on the early side if you want to beat the crowds and don't forget to hike the trails behind the falls themselves.

Beautiful place. I was in awe all the time I was there; the pictures look amazing. They have a cute little museum and shop, you should check that out.

Toby Lorenc

Totally worth the trip - the hike to the top of the falls is steep and lots of switchbacks . Harder than I thought it would be, but it's free (unless you get trapped buying something in the gift shop )

Ian C

Make sure to buy your tickets BEFORE you get to the falls or the ticket agent. Go to recreation.gov or download the app for quick checkout.

Jenn Y

Spectacular waterfall hike all year round. Take the hike up to the waterfall . Oh nature, you are so wonderful. So very worth the trip.

Didi C

Breathtaking. Photos just don't do it justice. Be prepared to battle the crowds though. If the lot right off I-84 is full, drive to next exit and take the scenic route back for additional parking .

Roy Britton

How can you not give this a great rating? Easy minimal hike , beautiful views . Let it mist on you, it was chilly but wonderful.

Geoffrey Moser

Beautiful place in the Gorge! Currently (mostly) closed. But still worth the short walk and view . The trail to the top is what's closed right now.

Del Ball

Be Sure to visit during the week, very crowded on the weekend. There is a snack shop around the backside of the other snack vendors that serves great hot dogs , hard-to-find but is there.

Ashley Sams

Very sad moment realizing we couldn’t do the hike up to the top because a high schooler started a wildfire in September of 2017 with fireworks that wiped out 50,000+ acres.????????

Connie Chiu

It's such a beautiful (and strenuous) hike ! Multiple routes with cool waterfall air. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds.

Al B.

Be sure to come here early! Avoid the crowds and tourists . Go on the bridge as well to get a nice top view . For the adventurists, go to the very top.

Geoff Reinhardt

Go all the way to the top. Amazing view from above. Try to time your visit to sunset .

Alaa Shaker

Great views , beautiful photos, and you don't need to hike for any of that. It gets even better if you do. Must see if you're in the area!

Raffy Luna-Vasquez

Wear comfort clothes , hiking shoes , and of course bottle water. It takes 1 and 3/4 miles to reach the top of the falls. It is worth to see stunning view .

Christina D

Really incredibly beautiful falls! The hike to the top is steep and a bit challenging but worth the view . Make sure to wear good shoes , very slippery in spots.

Dave G

This waterfall is stunning! Another great spot to hike or jog (1 mile up the mountain to the top of the waterfall ) in lieu of a gym workout. The sweat and the view is worth it...

Tina Yim

Avoid the crazy traffic on east 30 by parking at the lower lot at Wahkeena Falls. Hike the ,2 miles to see Wahkeena and then enjoy the easy .5 mile hike to Multnomah

Debbie W

Finding a parking space is tough, but being patient is worth it! Beautiful and state rangers are terrific here; they’ll give you information for all the falls.

Colin Nelson

Awesome hiking . If you're a daredevil, walk around the scenic lookout and dangle your feet over the cliff. Good luck.

John Khuu

Gorgeous waterfall . Weekends will get really nutty and become a tourist trap. Highly recommend at least seeing it once in your life.

David

Beautiful views and photo opps. The trail to the top is long, but it's worth hiking a little of it to see some great overlooks.

Titus Mathew

Incredibly amazing, very scenic - surprised at the crowds for a Monday. But a must see when in the Portland area.

Dia Jones

The fires destroyed a lot around the Falls, but the Falls remain and are back open! The bridge is back open!!

Mark Manchester

The parking lot at the lodge is always busy in peak times. Use the dedicated parking on I-84 to save time. It’s only a short walk from the falls.

Sara Joy

Beautiful waterfalls . Super touristy . If you're headed further out into the gorge anyways, it's right off the freeway and worth parking and checking out.

Geetika Gupta

Stunning views of the falls..gets cold in April showers ..come prepared..hard to get parking space on weekends

Rachel

This kind of beauty is rarely so accessible, so expect crowds until you get well away from the base. The whole area is gorgeous though and basically Rivendell.

Samantha DeMars

Take time on your walk, it's not a long hike . Also make sure to go in any season. It's beautiful no matter what time of the year.

Ammon Cluff

Everything is good here except the crowd. Come early to avoid it. Like 7 am. Really beautiful hikes . I'll be coming back.

Al B.

Any season, any weather, it's always worth the time and effort to enjoy the beautiful views here! Plus gift shop :P

DANGER TAM

Go park at the rest area off of I-84 and take the pedestrian underpass to get to the waterfall . An easier way to get back on the highway once you're done.

Tony Carolla

If you happen to be there in the early afternoon, be sure and hit up the Brunch buffet at the Lodge . Awesome selection of breakfast/lunch/seafood, etc.!

Trina Unzicker

The hike to the bridge near the Falls is easy and worthwhile – may take you less time than finding a parking space !

Alex Song

Hike was worth it but thats just because the hike itself is pretty interesting. The view at the top is pretty crappy actually. Unfortunately you cannot see most of the falls from the top.

Aysu Ozgur

I mean, it was pretty I guess? Makes a good instagram photo HA. But was expecting more. Go to Iceland for some truly amazing waterfalls . Nice for a quick hike up.

Trevor Gridley

One of my favorite places in the world. The hike to the top, while difficult, is worth the effort. Sadly I only get to see it about twice a year. :-(

Loveland Local

One of Oregon's most famous waterfalls , I suggest combining this with a drive up the Old Cascade Hwy and a visit to the picturesque town of Hood River .

Pelin Güvenç Kefel

Rivendell does exist ???? though unfortunately due to the fires the trail that leads up to the falls is closed because of dangerous conditions ????

Leiah Nhem

Great photo opportunity . Restaurant next to the falls is a nice respite and has a great view of the falls.

Chet Mancini

The bridge is really easy to get to and makes for some great photos, but can you climb all the switchbacks to the top?

Rich DiGirolamo

This is where the sign to turn to get you to the top of the Falls should be! Don't miss the turn

Zahra

Amazing waterfalls ???????? hiking was fun but breathtaking!

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

The view , the feeling, overwhelming. Perfect nature spot
