We were on the Oregon side of the Gorge and the geology of the gorge has created a number of spectacular waterfalls falling precipitously from the steep cliffs.
We headed to the most visited scenic site in Oregon, the Multnomah Falls, apparently the second-highest year-round waterfall in the USA. So two million people visit each year and it will be two million and two this year as the Kersten's have been.

| The upper falls recede faster than the lower falls and they plunge into a rock pool that seems to roar and rumble before flowing under the historic bridge over the lower falls. |
 |
| The noise of the two sets of falls is quite something to experience. |
 |
| A height of 620 feet! |
 |
Significance of the height of this plunge waterfall is that we hiked the 11 switchbacks to get right to the top of falls, a 1 1/4 mile path!
What an experience to stand on a platform that extends out over the lip of the falls! |
