Columbia River and other Troutdale, OR Things to Do Tips

The Columbia River runs along the northern edge of Oregon, from Astoria at the Pacific Ocean to near Hermiston, about 2/3 the width of the state.

There are great views at many places. This photo was taken from Vista House, situated at high-point along the Historic Columbia River Highway, about halfway between Troutdale and Multnomah Falls.

If you'd like to see an incredibly beautiful waterfall not too far from Portland, then this is it!

The hike up to the bridge is short and easy. You can also continue on up to the very top of the falls.

We never ate at the lodge but the BBQ smells emanating out of it were most delicious!

Directions: The quickest way is to take Exit 31 off of I-84. But I'd recommend taking Exit 17 at Troutdale and taking the old highway instead. Then you can head back via Exit 31.
