Wahkeena to Multnomah

Samuel C. Lancaster, The Columbia River Highway In Multnomah County

From Gordon Falls to Multnomah Falls, 0.57 miles, the road descends from an elevation of 98 to 44 feet above sea level, by easy grades and curves reaching the floor of the valley, on a level with the railway tracks.

On the way down the road curves around the foot of the mountain, where some of the highest dry masonry walls have been built, with rock taken from the steep slopes above.
