August 28, 2025 [back to articles]
Must-see highlights at Multnomah Falls including Benson Bridge, Multnomah Falls Lodge, and scenic hiking trail in the Columbia River Gorge.

Must-See Highlights โœจ

  • 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, youโ€™ll 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 youโ€™ll find a cozy restaurant, a gift shop with Oregon-made souvenirs, and exhibits about the areaโ€™s history and geology. Itโ€™s 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. Itโ€™s a moderately steep climb with switchbacks, but the sweeping Gorge views from above make it worthwhile. Even if you donโ€™t hike all the way up, walking part of the trail gives you a quieter perspective and great photo spots.
