The  Multnomah Falls look incredible no matter when you visit but there are certainly fewer crowds there in the winter months.  You will find them off of Multnomah Creek in the well-known Columbia River Gorge, between Dodson and Corbett just east of Troutdale.  You can access the falls and other wonders from Interstate 84 and the well-known Historic Columbia River Highway.

These beautiful falls span two tiers down cliffs of basalt.  It is 620 feet high and is therefore the tallest one in the entire state.  Even after an icy storm, the water will continue to drop down into the river.

Take in the view from the impressive Benson Bridge, erected in 1914.  Stop at the renowned Multnomah Falls Lodge. It and all the trails there have been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1981.

5.  St. Joseph Lighthouses, Michigan

Take it light in St. Joseph, (a.k.a. St Joe to the locals)  Michigan.  The famous St. Joseph Situated on Lake Michigan, the lighthouses successfully withstand the winter elements.  Erected in the early 1900s, the pair of lighthouses and the accompanying outer light is said to be perhaps the oldest on the well-known lake.

Those who have been confirm that the walk from popular Silver Beach to the lighthouses is “perfect distance” if you’re up for a little exercise.  These lighthouses are also a great place to get away from the summer beach scene and the view is always noteworthy regardless of when you visit.  Some people even find the lighthouses and surrounding area perfect for a romantic hand-in-hand stroll.
