Tourism

The Multnomah Falls are close to Crown Point in Oregon, which has been used for films such as Short Circuit. Every year, many tourists from America and abroad visit the Multnomah Falls. There is a tourist lodge beside the falls selling souvenirs and food. Visitors can also walk up a narrow winding footpath across a bridge and right up to the top of the falls. A wooden observation point stretches across the top of the falls. Visitors can then look down at the spectacular waterfall beneath their feet.
