Mesa Falls Scenic Byway

This is a nice drive along a less traveled road that parallels US 20. It travels through irrigated farmland before climbing to the forest and continuing to the overlooks of the Upper and Lower Mesa Falls of Henry's Fork. A short partly paved trail leads to a far view of the Lower Falls.

The Upper Falls area includes the historic Big Falls Inn that was built around 1915 by the Snake River Electric Light and Power Company and is now a visitor center with exhibits on natural and human history. Paved and boardwalk trails lead to a good view of the Upper Falls but the best views are accessed by stairs. We did not go on the 1 mile nature trail.

 

The trails to the lower falls is accessible. Some of the trails to and from the Upper Falls are steep and most wheelchair users will need assistance. The visitor center is access by a ramp.

The parking lots at both the Lower and Upper Falls have RVs spaces. The trail from the parking lot to the Upper Falls is steep but I think accessible parking close to the visitor center is large enough for RVs. Mesa Falls  44.17495, -111.31485
