Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It contains a diverse landscape including the windswept Pacific coastline, the volcanoes of the rugged and glaciated Cascade Mountain Range, many waterfalls, dense forests at lower elevations, and high desert across much of the eastern portion of the state, extending into the Great Basin.
The area was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before the arrival of traders, explorers, and settlers who formed an autonomous government in Oregon Country in 1843. The Oregon Territory was created in 1848, and Oregon became the 33rd state on February 14, 1859.

Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. It is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 165 m and a lower falls of 21 m, with a gradual 3 m drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 189 m.
