If you are ever in the Portland, Oregon area you must take a short drive
East down the Columbia River Gorge on Interstate 84.

    Multnomah Falls
Waterfalls on a short tributary of the Columbia River that rises in the
Larch Mountains in northwestern Oregon, U.S. The falls are located near the
Columbia River Highway about 9 miles (14 km) west-southwest of Bonneville.
The scenic upper and lower falls plunge into the Columbia River Gorge and
have a combined height of 850 feet (260 m), with a single drop of 620 feet
(190 m), one of the country's highest.

    It is definitely a breathtaking sight that you would never forget.
