The deep rich green of stately trees, the precipice of scarred rock over which Multnomah Falls, rising thousand of feet above in Larch Mountain, pours in all its beauty and majesty, a sheer fall of 607 feet. The fairy-like beauty of the Benson Foot Bridge that spans these waters before the second fall of 70 feet and their final unison with the waters of the Columbia River, all conspire to form a picture of incomparable beauty, "On Union Pacific System."
