What To Expect

Willamette Valley

Mount Hood

Mount Hood, called Wy'east by the Multnomah tribe, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc. It was formed by a subduction zone on the Pacific coast and rests in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

Sandy River

The Sandy River is a 56-mile tributary of the Columbia River in northwestern Oregon in the United States. The Sandy joins the Columbia about 14 miles upstream of Portland.

Mount Hood National Forest

Beacon Rock

Beacon Rock is the 57,000 year-old plug of relatively young cinder cone, now considered the most recent extrusion of the Boring Lava Field. The ice age Missoula Floods scored away the volcano's rubbly flanks, leaving a freestanding monolith that has become one of the most recognizable symbols of the Columbia River Gorge.

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million stopping by each year to take in the views! Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the flow over the falls varies, but is usually highest during winter and spring. This is also one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to study geology exposed by floods.

Bridge of the Gods

The Bridge of the Gods is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon, and Washington state near North Bonneville.

Latourell Falls

Latourell Falls is a waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge in the U.S. state of Oregon, within Guy W. Talbot State Park. The Historic Columbia River Highway passes nearby, and at certain locations the Lower falls are visible from the road. From the air, it’s all visible.

Multnomah Falls

Vista House

Millions of people visit the Columbia River Gorge each year, and one of the most popular stops and view points is at Crown Point. On this tour, we fly past this popular landmark offering a unique vantage point of the cliffs that the Vista House sits atop.

Crown Point State Park

Envi Adventures

As Portland's only air tour up to Mount Hood, this seasonal flight is very popular and one of our favorites. Not only do you get an unobstructed view of Oregon's tallest mountain peak, BUT, you also fly back through the Columbia River Gorge past Multnomah Falls, Beacon Rock, and a number of other beautiful natural sights.

To everyone looking for a memory to last a life time, I will never forget the tour we had of the gorge the other day! I surprised my boyfriend with the best birthday present ever 🤗 Not only were we celebrating his birthday, half way into the tour, I revealed to him that we are going to be expecting our first baby! I will never forget Cory and Spencer for their awesomeness and ability to deliver such an amazing experience for people! Thank you 😉

Tour should be called 'Mountains and Rivers'. Great views of Mt Hood and the multiple peaks of the Cascades, as well the river and Bonneville Dam. Able to see so much in a short period of time and felt very safe through the entire experience

I love the 'Quicksand Triangle' flight. I love how it's always different and always stunningly beautiful. There's so much packed into the flight but still very tranquil at the same time. Thanks for coming!

I booked the quicksand triangle tour at the end of September for my boyfriend’s birthday. I was pretty nervous the weeks leading up to our flight due to the smoke from the gorge fire – I wasn’t sure how the views would be but this flight did not disappoint! Our pilot did have flight restrictions due to the smoke but we got extremely lucky in that it was a clear day and the burned spots did not detract from the incredible views. It was actually quite fascinating to see the ways in which the fire moved. Our pilot was so knowledgeable and friendly - he even took pictures for us, standing beside the plane. I plan on gifting another ride to my grandmother who will visit next summer, I can not wait. If you are on the fence about this, go for it! I can't recommend Envi Adventures enough.

Those fires made for a tricky September, but you're quite right in that the burned spots don't make the gorge any less beautiful and that the movement of the fire is pretty interesting to see from above. Thrilled to hear that the visibility worked out for you and that you had a great time! See you again soon!
