This is my favorite waterfall hike in the Columbia River Gorge because it features five incredible waterfalls in about 3 miles of very easy grade (no big elevation gain or loss). It is not nearly as over-run with tourists as Multnomah Falls and will lead you to Triple Falls and a stream valley beyond where you can be virtually alone in nature with gorgeous waterfalls and old growth trees. Free parking at trailhead is a big plus, although can get very crowded.

If it is raining in Portland & you want a dry, easy, spectacularly beautiful hike, these rolling hills and oak stream valleys feature some of the most diverse wild flowers in the region -- and it is usually dry because it is east of the mountains. It is more than an hour drive from Portland, but well worth the effort if you love wildflowers and sunshine on a cloudy day. Features stunning views of Mt. Hood on clear days. Free parking at the trailhead.
