Welcome to the Full Day Tour (our favorite!) and thanks for coming, you’ll be riding 16 miles of the most beautiful road in the country today.

The two tiers of this falls can be seen from the bridge crossing at Sheppards Dell State Park. The lower falls is a horsetail formation and the upper falls is a plunge formation.
From the bridge you’ll see the original Shepperds dairy farm which was homesteaded and then donated to the state for the park you’re standing in. The Shepperds lived here before the road and couldn’t reach church on Sundays so they worshipped here in Shepperds Dell.

Benson Footbridge
20 Minutes
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.
Hike to the top and beyond!
The hike to the top is obviously steep so be aware and stay on the trail. People wander off the trail and fall to their death every year so I say it again. STAY ON THE TRAIL.
The hike up to the viewpoint is 1.5 miles up 600 vertical feet but the viewpoint is so cool and well worth the effort.
Once you’re up there, consider hiking another .5 miles to three more waterfalls. Dutchman, Wisendanger, and Ecola Falls await just a bit further up the trail. Definitely turn around after Ecola. The full loop isn’t worth it.
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.
Next Stop: Return to Ebike Multnomah Falls, don’t miss the left turn into our driveway or you’ll end up on a freeway on ramp.
