About This Trail

Imported description

This is a loop in the gorge that leads to a waterfall. This hike goes by several waterfalls. The trail goes past the springs which feed the waterfall and then goes onto Larch Mountain Trail which leads to Multnomah Falls. It's pretty amazing to look down from the top of the tallest waterfall. The trail then goes down to the Multnomah Lodge and back onto the highway.
