"Oregon's highest waterfall, Multnomah Falls, is located only 30 miles east of Portland. The falls which was first discovered by Lewis & Clark during their expedition in 1805, tumbles to the floor of the Columbia River Gorge in two levels. A foot bridge crosses the falls at the top of the lower level. The trail continues on to the top of the falls. The Multnomah Falls area is one of the favorite stopping places for travelers using Interstate Highway 84, Multnomah County." Oregon Department of Transportation Photo 7884
