Your Itinerary

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

After meeting you at the starting point, 833 SE Main Street #121, we'll head out in one of our comfortable vans. The tour all takes place in the Columbia River Gorge, in the waterfall-laden western end of an 80-mile (130-km) canyon.

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and one of the most impressive, and most photographed, waterfalls in the U.S. If you're chasing waterfalls: this is the one many are seeking to catch.

Latourell Falls

Latourell is the most impressive of the plunge-style waterfalls, tumbling over layers of 15 million-year-old columnar and entablature basalt frosted with lichens and, according to local legend, carries the spirit of a Beaver princess who led a tragic life. At Latourell, you'll have the opportunity for a longer hike, up to 2 miles or 3 km. Breathe deep: you'll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

Vista House

**Vista House is currently open limited hours! If it is closed, we will stop to take photos of this architectural icon and see the view.** At the most beautiful rest stop in Oregon, we'll stop, take a walk to the upper deck (weather permitting), learn about the architectural history, and enjoy what could be the most expensive public bathroom in the Pacific Northwest. We'll also remember the Wasco people, who found this one of their holy places.

Portland Women's Forum State Scenic Viewpoint

View an expansive vista of the Columbia River Gorge, take photos, and hear the story of who was here before us. We'll also tell you how the waterfalls were created. **Due to road closures we sometimes replace this stop with an alternative.**

Bridal Veil Falls State Park

This hidden waterfall is one of the state's most visited and most romantic. A 2/3 mile, 1km hike takes us down to the gorgeous spot that we believe is a genuine fairy land. **Due to weather or traffic conditions or road closures, this waterfall is sometimes replaced with an alternative!**

This was a wonderful four waterfall tour. Carrie, our tour guide, was great. I learned so much about the history of the area and the Columbia River Gorge. We also learned about the native plants both wild and farmed. Carrie loved sharing the beauty and history of the CRG, and it showed.

Heidi_S

The waterfalls were awesome! Our tour guide, Ana, was amazing, too! We loved the history lesson that came along with the beautiful views. I highly recommend this tour!

This experience was one of those core memory kind of moments. The waterfalls, the sun, our amazing guide made this a memorable trip. I am so thankful for this trip, and looking forward to more :)

Emily_H

We had the best time with Ana as our guide! She is a wealth of information and we saw so many amazing waterfalls! We filled our water bottles from one particular fall and it was the freshest, most delicious water. There is plenty of walking, but not strenuous. Overall it was a nice balance of exercise but not exhausting -and we were able to go out at night afterwards feeling amazing. It was such a perfect afternoon and highly recommend this tour.

Donna_M

The views were amazing!! The weather was perfect and Carrie, our tour guide was awesome. The van was the perfect size for our group. Carrie provided history as well as plant/fauna info on the native vegetation along a small hike. Beautiful hike and educational.

Well done all around … comfortable van, excellent guide with Anna and beautiful locations. Just the right amount of time, just the right amount of hiking. Anna really made the trip with her knowledge of Portland history, geography and environment.
