Multnomah Falls

Yesterday, we showed my kids Multnomah Falls, and we hiked the trail up to the top. We made it 3/4 of the way, then we made a U turn and hiked down because my oldest sister was so tired. This was my second time hiking and realized how much I love hiking. I think I should go hiking more often. Hiking is a perfect way to exercise, explore, and enjoy nature's beauty. My kids love hiking as well, and they really wanted to keep going. After that, we showed the kids the countryside and Oregon wine country. They truly enjoyed nature and had a delightful time.

Multnomah Falls

The falls drop in two major steps, split into a upper fall of 542 feet (165m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21m) with a gradual 9 feet (3m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height is about 620 feet (189m). It is the tallest waterfall in Oregon.

This photo was taken after we finished the hiking. The sun came out just in time. This picture was taken at the same spot with the picture above before we started hiking.


The Trail
I tried to capture the trail while hiking through it to share with you guys.

The sun came out through the woods.
