It is mostly up hill on un-even terrain with no safety rails. Prepare for full sun or rain with wind. Footwear ankle support recommended. It poured the whole way up and I still had fun.

this can be a beautiful yet strenuous hike but there are plenty of places to stop and catch your breath as you look crossed to the beautiful Columbia River as well as up the Columbia gorge. To pay off at the top is the view as well as seen the sunshine through the trees and the glistening Mist of the water can form a rainbow..

Very steep trail with 11 switchbacks to the top of Multonomah Falls viewpoint. There are no guard rails and if you fall, you will get injured. Boots recommended. Very muddy after it rains. Once you reach the top viewpoint, keep going on this trail along Multonomah Creek to see 6 waterfalls in 1 mile. Once you reach Ecola Falls, turn around and hike back. I like this hike because as you ascend, the crowds get thinner and thinner. Not many people know about the 6 waterfalls that feed Multonomah Falls. The entire trail has sketchy drop offs so be careful before worrying about your phone! About 1000 feet elevation gain total in 3 miles. Enjoy!

Only in the corridor, not on the trail itself. There is a nice ride you can do in the corridor though that has many views of the falls and state parks.

Yes. The falls empties to an accessible river by the parking lot. Also, there are several spots above the falls to get in the river.
