From Backups to Breezy Rides: How Sasquatch Shuttle is Easing the Multnomah Madness
November 11, 2024 [back to News Articles]
With more than 2 million visitors a year, Multnomah Falls has earned its reputation as one of Oregon’s most iconic destinations—and one of the most congested. From I-84 traffic backups to full parking lots and confusing permit systems, getting to the base of the 620-foot waterfall isn’t always easy.
Fortunately, Sasquatch Shuttle is offering travelers a better experience.
Both With Each Mile and Visit Multnomah Falls reference Sasquatch Shuttle as a valuable alternative for reaching the falls—especially when timed-use permits or limited parking make access more difficult. According to Visit Multnomah Falls, the shuttle’s operators stepped in to help resolve congestion issues by leasing the lot across from Multnomah Falls and hiring a crossing guard and flagger at their own expense to help traffic move more safely and efficiently.
🌟 Perks of Riding with Sasquatch Shuttle:
- 🚗 Free parking at the Columbia Gorge Premium Outlets in Troutdale, with shuttle service to Multnomah Falls for just $5
- 🐶 Pet-friendly (dogs are welcome on board)
- 🔁 Shuttle runs every 30 minutes, May through September
- 🚧 Avoids the permit confusion and freeway backups that have frustrated so many travelers
- 🌲 Upgrade options like the Waterfall Loop Tour are available for those who want to explore more
One of the articles points out that the permit system for the I-84 lot doesn’t always ensure a parking spot—meaning that even those who reserve ahead of time may still be left waiting. That’s why parking off-site and riding with Sasquatch is not only easier but safer.
Whether you’re bringing your pups like Lily and Toby from With Each Mile, or simply want a smoother way to enjoy Oregon’s most famous waterfall, Sasquatch Shuttle is a reliable, locally operated alternative that puts your time—and safety—first.
