Multnomah Falls is Oregon’s most iconic natural wonder. It’s not only beautiful – it’s instantly recognizable, and is said to be the most photographed waterfall in the Beaver State. There’s a Native American legend about how this waterfall was created, and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. Have you heard the Legend of Multnomah Falls?
Oregon is a waterfall lover’s paradise, with at least 238 named waterfalls across the state. If you’d like to see 8 of Oregon’s tallest falls in just one day, you’ll want to head to the Columbia River Valley, which is just brimming with waterfalls. Here are some of the most impressive!
This road trip doesn’t include the top 8 tallest falls. Some of those waterfalls are difficult to reach, or were too far outside the starting area of our trip to make them feasible to include. However, all 8 of the falls along this road trip are amongst the top 40 tallest waterfalls in Oregon.
Along the way, there are numerous other waterfalls to see, but they’re not listed here because they’re not some of Oregon’s tallest. Feel free to pull over and explore them, too! Click here for directions.
