Multnomah Falls
Multnomah Falls, perhaps the most visited in the northwest, was named according to a legend of the local native Multnomah people that tells the story of how a beautiful maiden sacrificed herself to save the tribe from a plague by throwing herself from the top of a cliff. The tribe was saved and a creek formed at the top of the cliff creating Multnomah Falls.

Twin Sisters, Wallula Gap, Columbia River
Wallula Gap is a large water gap of the Columbia River in the northwest United States in southeast Washington. It cuts through the Horse Heaven Hills basalt anticlines in the Columbia River Basin, just south of the confluence of the Walla Walla and Columbia rivers.
View of the Snake River
Snake River Borders both Washington & Idaho. This is the view from the back of a jet-propelled boat designed for quick maneuverability, which is certainly called for in these rapids, and to avoid the risk of a propeller driven boat crashing into rocks.
