Waterfall wonders in the forest

Multnomah Falls is only a half-hour from Portland—and you don’t even need to get out of your car to check out this 620-foot tiered stunner. More than 2 million people a year make the trip—it’s Oregon’s most popular outdoor spectacle. Take the short hike to the stone footbridge. Look up. Look down. Now you know why. Insider tip: Grab a spot in the smaller lot across from Bridal Veil Falls (also worth a looky) and walk to the main event. http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/columbia
