Multnomah Falls

     Since Multnomah Falls is really close to Bonneville Dam, we went there after we visited Bonneville Dam.

Multnomah Falls, at a distance, after we parked our car.

We went to the Visitor Center and did the Junior Ranger Program.  I also talked with a volunteer worker who was at the desk.  He was an old man, and he had been volunteering since 1989.
     "You should really go on the bridge," he said, "It only takes 5 minutes to walk up there."
     He continued, "If it takes 5 minutes to get up there, how long do you suppose it will take to get down?"
     Without thinking, I said, "Well, it takes 5 minute to get to the bridge, but if you jump down, I think it will only take a few seconds."
     I continued, after a short pause, "But, of course, we won't jump.  We'll probably take the same trail back down.  I suppose that will be about 5 minutes too."

The Bridge, and the waterfall under it, which is about 100 feet.

The Bridge, and the part of the waterfall above it.

     We started the 5 minute trail, which was 0.2 miles long. Soon, we arrived at the Bridge.

The water fall looked even bigger now, since we were a lot closer.  I tried to take a picture of the waterfall without someone in it, but I couldn't because there were so many people. Also, I was too shy to ask the person in the picture to go to the side.

The view as I looked down from the Bridge.  It's a hundred foot drop.

A creek (I think it's from the waterfall) nearby.  My brother played in it for a while.

This is the Junior Ranger Booklet.
