Continue West 2.5 miles to Multnomah Falls (10 minute ride). Please park in the bike racks on the North (river) side of the road just before the falls, near the employee lot where you’ll find a bike rack (red car in the photo below). You can also put them just past the lodge locked to each other (by picnic table in photo). They’re not allowed in the main bike rack at the lodge. 

Stop Two

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls –

Benson Footbridge

This landmark bridge at the base of the upper falls is iconic and can be accessed by a gradual and paved trail from the lodge. This trail passes the viewpoint of the lower falls and is accessible to all.

Multnomah Falls Lodge

The main level includes the Forest Service information center, a large gift shop and restroom facilities. The lower level includes kiosks for snacks and drinks, the upper level includes a restaurant.

Hike to the Top

It’s 830 feet of vertical over 2.3 miles to get to the top. It takes fit hikers 1.5 hours. Once you’re up there you can also go back to three more waterfalls just another mile or two down the trail. It’s a cool hike but takes a lot of time. We recommend Wahclella Falls or Latourell Falls Hikes as more bang for your buck.

Next Stop: Ride .5 miles to the west to Wahkeena Falls
