Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, along the Columbia River Highway. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet and a lower falls of 69 feet, with a gradual 9 foot drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet. Multnomah Falls is the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States after Yosemite Falls.
