44. Multnomah Falls, Oregon
The Multnomah Falls look incredible no matter when you visit but there are certainly fewer crowds there in the winter months. You will find them off of Multnomah Creek in the well-known Columbia River Gorge, between Dodson and Corbett just east of Troutdale. You can access the falls and other wonders from Interstate 84 and the well-known Historic Columbia River Highway.
These beautiful falls span two tiers down cliffs of basalt. It is 620 feet high and is therefore the tallest one in the entire state. Even after an icy storm, the water will continue to drop down into the river.
Take in the view from the impressive Benson Bridge, erected in 1914. Stop at the renowned Multnomah Falls Lodge. It and all the trails there have been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1981.
