Time is running out for a spur-of-the-moment trip to Multnomah Falls. Starting July 20, timed tickets will be required for one-hour visits to the popular sight-seeing destination east of Portland.
The U.S. Forest Service is adopting the ticketing system to address congestion at the Columbia Gorge hot spot. The 365-foot-tall falls attract nearly 2 million visitors annually. Traffic often backs up at the Interstate 84 offramp as motorists circle the lot looking for a rare parking spot to open up.
Donna Mickley, a forest supervisor with the federal agency, called the ticketing system “a tool we are using to enhance access, reduce congestion and mitigate the associated safety issues at this iconic location.”
