PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A recent study has named Multnomah
Falls as the most picturesque waterfall in the USA based on its
popularity on social media.

The research from media company BonusFinder analyzed more
than 2,700 US landmarks – including 79 waterfalls – by comparing
their total number of hashtags to reveal the country’s most popular landmarks on social media.

Multnomah Falls was ranked as the most "Instagrammable waterfall"
in the country due to its popularity on social media, BonusFinder
reports.

Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in Oregon and the most
visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest, with over
two million visitors each year – and that popularity is obviously
reflected in its social media stats.
