Below: Multnomah Falls, Columbia Gorge, Oregon River Gorge. Discover waterfalls galore just 30 minutes from Portland. There are 77 of them just on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. Some tumble down right by the road while others can be reached by short hikes. Among the most popular are the spectacular Multnomah Falls, at 620 feet high one of the tallest year-round waterfalls in the U.S. (a car parking permit is required in summer months), and the Latourell, Bridal Veil and Horsetail Falls. NATIONAL ROAD, PENNSYLVANIA Completed in 1818, the National Road was America’s first federally-funded interstate highway and journeys 90 miles through southwest Pennsylvania, linking communities that saw some of the most important events of the country’s early social, industrial and cultural history. The National Road Heritage Corridor runs from Addison to West Alexander on the West Virginia border and takes in two surviving toll houses from its toll road era, industrial revolution heritage and Washington, where the 1790s Whiskey Rebellion was born. NRHC Go above and beyond your vacation expectations.
