			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-large wp-image-181" title="multnomah falls" src="http://michellepetersenrealestate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/falls-768x1024.jpg" alt="multnomah falls" width="387" height="517" />According to Native American legend, Multnomah  Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a hidden place to bathe. Although you can see the top portion of the falls from the highway, to view both tiers you have to walk to the viewing area located in a carved-out opening in the rock face. Tilting your head up in the narrow rocky confines of the steep cliffs, you get a mind-boggling perspective on the sheer magnitude of the falls.</p>
<p>Plummeting 620 feet from its origins on Larch Mountain, Multnomah  Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the nation. Here, all your senses will come alive as you experience the sights and sounds of these magnificent falls.</p>
<p>At the base of the falls lays historic <strong>Multnomah Falls Lodge</strong>. Built in 1925 the lodge provides fine northwest cuisine with a panoramic view from your table.</p>
<p>The water of Multnomah Falls is located about twenty minutes east of Troutdale. The Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area extends from the Sandy River, all the way to the Deschutes  River, nearly 80 miles east. The winding road of the scenic highway will deliver you to Multnomah Falls while simultaneously captivating you along the way with breathtaking views of the Columbia River Gorge.</p>
<p><strong>Seasons </strong><br />
Unlike many of the West&#8217;s famous falls, Multnomah Falls does not dry up in the late summer. Rainwater, an underground spring and snow melt feed the falls through all four seasons and ensure a spectacular sight any day of the year.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Tips:</strong><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-182" title="multnomah falls in the winter" src="http://michellepetersenrealestate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/falls2-225x300.jpg" alt="multnomah falls in the winter" width="225" height="300" /><br />
</strong>- Pets are allowed at Multnomah Falls, but must be controlled and on a leash at all times.<br />
- Multnomah Falls does NOT require a Northwest Forest Pass.<br />
- Spray and mist cause a cooler micro-climate within the falls viewing area so be sure to bring a sweater in summer or coat in winter for added warmth.</p>
