Horsetail Falls is another waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River and is only a few miles from Multnomah. It drops 176 feet or 54 meters. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-few-pictu...

I was in the Portland, Oregon, area recently and had a few hours to spare. I used that time to visit some of the falls along Old Highway 30 east of Portland. It was late in the day and the light was not very good, but I enjoyed the visit. This area of the gorge is one of our favorite places. This photo was taken from the walkway up to the bridge that spans the Lower Falls. The mist from the falls was blowing my way and I could not keep the lens clean and finally just gave up and took a few shots through the misted lens with this result which I thought worth posting. Multonomah Falls is the most spectacular of some seventy waterfalls in the area. The upper falls (not visible here) drop 542 feet (189 m) and the lower falls another 69 feet (21 m). They are the tallest in Oregon and the second tallest in the USA, exceeded only by Yosemite Falls in the national park of that name. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-few-pictu...
