Description

Just about everyone who travels up I-84 stops to check out Multnomah Falls, a dramatic two-tiered falls that drops 620 feet down to the floor of the Columbia Gorge. Those who just make the quick stop may wonder what lies upstream. Jon Loehrke and John Whaley went to go find out. Their story is recorded at Oregon Kayaking. While this might not count as a standard run, they did document a navigable stretch of river.
