The U.S. Forest Service reopened Multnomah Falls to visitors on Tuesday with some precautions in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.  Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Manager Lynn Burditt said it was a soft, limited opening, adding how visitors conduct themselves will determine if the Falls can remain open.  She said they have a one-way grid, and people will be able to go to the lower viewing platform, but no further with the trail and Benson Bridge remaining closed for social distancing concerns.  Currently there will be 300 visitors allowed at a time between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. to check in and wait in a socially distance queue.  A ticketing system is expected to be implemented in the next two to three weeks.  Face coverings will be mandatory for all visitors.
