August 28, 2025 [back to articles]
Must-See Highlights โจ
- Benson Bridge: Stand mid-falls, feel the mist on your face, and catch rainbows in the spray. This historic footbridge offers the most iconic view of Multnomah Falls. Standing here, youโll be surrounded by the roar of both tiers, with mist cooling your face and rainbows often forming in the spray.
Tip: visit early in the morning for fewer crowds and the best photo opportunities.
- Multnomah Falls Lodge: Built in 1925 from Gorge basalt rock, the lodge is both charming and historic. Inside youโll find a cozy restaurant, a gift shop with Oregon-made souvenirs, and exhibits about the areaโs history and geology. Itโs the perfect stop to enjoy a warm drink in winter or a cold treat in summer while still soaking in views of the falls.
- Trails: The paved Multnomah Falls Trail is just over a mile each way and leads you to the top of the falls. Itโs a moderately steep climb with switchbacks, but the sweeping Gorge views from above make it worthwhile. Even if you donโt hike all the way up, walking part of the trail gives you a quieter perspective and great photo spots.
