Cumberland Falls | Corbin, Kentucky
Cumberland Falls State Resort Park
Known as the “Niagara of the South,” Cumberland Falls in Corbin, Kentucky is a 125-foot wide vail of gushing blue-green water in Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. The falls are easily accessed from a pair of viewing platforms located right off the highway, but hiking trails give you the option to make a full day of the visit.

Next, PDX shuttle airport will stop at Crown Visit Point House with a

Our next stop is Latourell Falls. This waterfall plunges 249′ over a massive
wall of columnar basalt, some of the best formations in the Pacific Northwest,
before cascading hastily toward the Columbia River. This waterfall is usually
most recognized for the large patch of bright yellow lichen adorning the cliff
face to the right of the falls, and this characteristic has led many famous
photographers to this captivating location.

Bridal Veil Falls- Beautiful Bridal Veil
Falls is an elegant and graceful lady that can be fully appreciated from the
deck of a viewing platform rebuilt in 1996. The creek hustles down from the top
of nearby Larch Mountain, tumbles over the cliff and eventually flows into the
mighty Columbia River.
Next we will drive to Multnomah Falls. According to Native American lore,
Multnomah Falls was created to win the heart of a young princess who wanted a
hidden place to bathe. Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural
recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping
by each year to take in the views! Fed by underground springs from Larch
Mountain, the flow over the falls varies, but is usually highest during winter
and spring. This is also one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge
National Scenic Area to study geology exposed by floods.
Return to Portland and drop off at downtown Portland hotels.
