The best part of the excursion today was the stop at Multnomah Falls. This is the second tallest continuously flowing waterfall in the US, and is really beautiful. We had an hour and a half here and it was plenty of time to hike up and back. The hike up was only a mile and a half, but rather steep - lots of switchbacks. In truth, the bottom was the best
place to appreciate the waterfall, since the platform at the top is situated a bit back so that you can't really s
ee over the edge. The view from the top is beautiful, though, positioned right over the Columbia River (check out the video from the top). As you can see in the pictures, the waterfall is in two parts and the mist is splendid when you're standing on that bridge. Just like in the redwoods, it's hard to capture something so large in pictures, but we did our best.
