Multnomah Falls

$ · Portland, Oregon

The 620-foot two-tiered showstopper in the Columbia Gorge, 45 minutes east and worth every one of the tour buses it draws. Walk the paved switchbacks up to Benson Bridge for the classic shot, then keep climbing to the top viewpoint if you want to earn the crowd-free part. Yes it's the postcard, but

Try: The 1.2-mile paved climb from Benson Bridge to the top-of-falls viewpoint
