It Was So Cold, It Was Hard To Believe The Waterfall Was
Not Frozen Solid
Plummeting 620 feet from its origins on Larch Mountain,
Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in
the United States. Nearly two million visitors a year come to
see this ancient waterfall.
Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the flow over
the falls varies, usually it's highest during winter and spring.

the waterfall spray and freezing temperatures.
Benson Bridge
Benson Bridge, crafted by Italian stone
masons, allows visitors to cross the falls
between it's lower and upper cataracts.
