Columbia River Highway, Showing Benson Foot bridge. Multnomah Falls, the second highest in the United Sates, is the largest of many falls seen along the highway. A huge volume of water falls from a cliff 840 feet into a rock basin and thence 70 feet to the floor of the valley. Pretty environment of tree-clad hillsides with their ferns and flowers, the rythmic murmur of the waters the rainbows of the spray and majesty of the surroundings render this place without an equal from a scenic standpoint. |
