Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge is among the most popular attractions in Oregon with miles of hiking trails, a scenic bridge, and a tragically romantic storey. Legend has it that the falls were created by the spirits to honour a chieftain's daughter who threw herself into the gorge to appease the spirits in hopes that it would relieve a plague that had afflicted her tribe. Regardless of their origin, however, the falls are a breathtakingly romantic site, and you can cross a footbridge that gives you incredible views.
Afterwards, you can visit the nearby lodge for refreshments and to rest. The falls are a bit of a trek, an hour and a half east of city centre.
