There are lots of switchbacks on this trail...

The Multnomah Falls Overlook, looking straight down the upper falls. You can see the bridge over the lower falls at the lower-right.

Zooming out a bit, you can see the viewpoint for the lower falls, too.

There are small falls just above the upper falls

About a hundred yards upstream of the upper falls, kids are playing in the stream. I hope they don't get swept away!
