Amazing natural environmental area. There are so many waterfalls, particularly in the spring, on the edge of the gorge. Highly recommend getting out and doing a hike or couple of short hikes and checking them out. Multnomah falls is great for starters but take the time to explore some of the many other ones right around there.
Beautiful falls we did a quick spot so did not go hiking. But the important thing is to make sure that you get parking passes otherwise they will not let you park and turn you away. View was beautiful.
Some of the most gorgeous scenery I've had the pleasure to experience and explore. Highly recommend seeing the area once in Ur life, or twice.
This is such a beautiful park, I only wish we had something like this in our city. The trees were gorgeous and it was so serene out.
Perfect place to walk with the dogs, to relax, seat, chat, or simply watching a sunset.
Great place for walking! They have fun summer activities in the Summer.
Amazing trails and beautiful scenery. Trails are very long, but have nice paths(other than mud, which is natural) and decent amount of signs to be able to tell where you are going and what trail you want to go on. Signs are scattered at important intersections and are fairly easy to read.
For lovers of nature and good taste for landscapes I recommend this beautiful place full of tranquility.
Beautiful, serene, lush. An amazing forest in a huge city. The hiking and quietness are wonderful.
