Portland: Multnomah Falls

About a 30 minute drive outside of Portland, you find this gorgeous, peaceful waterfall.  According to Native American lore, Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe.  I can see that.   Rainwater, an underground spring and melting snow feed this fall throughout all four seasons so you are in for a treat any day of the year. 

After crossing the Benson bridge you get a refreshing spray at the base of the fall before hiking up a mile steep path to the top of the fall. We didn't quite make it to the top with the kids, but we came close.
