Top of the falls — Attraction in Washougal

Personally, I don't think it is worth doing all the strenuous steep uphill only for this. I was very disappointed when I arrived and realized that from the view dock you cannot actually see the fall!

We had so much fun up there in the water surrounded by beautiful sights, including the view from the top of the falls. I highly recommend you all do the climb. There is no rush. Enjoy!!! Para mi gente: que la...

The view of Multnomah Falls from the bottom is more amazing then looking over the top of the waterfall. There are some really nice views of the Columbia River from the trail and it is...
