Multnomah Falls/Wahkeena Falls
06/15/2012

We parked at Wahkeena Falls parking area and hiked over to the Lodge at Multnomah Falls. From there it was a gently sloped trail to the Benson Bridge. Beyond the bridge, the asphalt trail was a series of steep switchbacks to a ridge crest where the trail split off to the overlook. The Overlook was closed due to a rock slide. Elevation gain to this point was 700 feet. From the closed overlook the trail on natural surface with tree roots, rocks, etc. We crossed Multnomah creek on a nice bridge. We passed Weisendanger Falls and then Echo Falls. When we came to the split in the trail for Larch Mountain, we turned right and continue to climb.
