Full-Day Mt Hood Waterfall Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting

Overview

Mt. Hood is the highest summit in Oregon. It features waterfalls, glaciers, and historic Timberline Lodge, built by local artisans during the Great Depression, and featuring the longest ski season in the US. To the north of Mt. Hood is the Hood River Valley and Columbia Gorge American Viticultural Area (AVA), the lovechild of the Columbia Valley and Willamette Valley AVAs. You will get intimate with this area through the opportunity to enjoy the local wine, cider, and beer, a visit to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, and stops at Vista House and Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in Oregon and most visited site in the Pacific Northwest. Your expert guide will teach you about the natural history, cultural history, and wine background of the area, as you drive the Mt. Hood and Historic Columbia River Highway Scenic Byways. You'll visit 2 vineyards. We host lunch, and a glass of wine at one vineyard, *you cover beverages at a second vineyard, at your leisure*.

What To Expect

Sandy River

We'll cross the Sandy River between the Columbia Gorge and Willamette Valley. The Sandy's headwaters is a glacier on Mt. Hood, and the river is known for its Steelhead and Chinook runs. As a result, the Sandy is one of three tributaries of the Columbia who's dams have been removed since 2007.

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

The 85-mile (137-km) long Columbia Gorge NSA features waterfalls, mountains, monoliths, terraces, resort towns, vineyards, orchards, the Columbia River, a plethora of birds, and a plant community that changes dramatically between the west and east ends.

Rooster Rock State Park

As we pass by, view the rock that inspired North America's oldest continuously running nudist beach!

Vista House

This 100-year-old 'fanciest rest stop in the world' sits atop a basalt point above the Columbia River, with a 360-degree balcony. The sandstone, limestone, and marble building includes historical interpretation and fancy restrooms.

Crown Point State Park

Once known as Thor's Hammer, this geological feature towers above, with a crown-shaped building sitting atop, and a waterfall coming down the side.

Latourell Falls

A 249-foot hanging waterfall adorned with fluorescent lichen and columnar basalt.

Shepperd's Dell State Natural Area

This delightful little cove provides for a hidden surprise.

Bridal Veil

An old logging ghost town dating to the 1880s, harboring a waterfall, an operating post office, and a circa-1920s B & B.

Wahkeena Falls

Another cute waterfall to watch closely for!

Multnomah Falls

The tallest waterfall in the state, with a combined height of 620 feet.

Oneonta Gorge

A slot canyon created by a fault, with plants growing on the walls found nowhere else.

Horsetail Falls- Columbia River Gorge

Don't miss this quirky waterfall as we pass by!

Beacon Rock

The fifth largest free-standing monolith in the world. It is an 848-ft (258-m) volcanic plug, composed of columnar basalt, so similar in size and composition to Devil's Tower, Wyoming.

Elowah Falls

A hidden beauty...watch quickly, or you might miss it!

Bonneville Hatchery

Largest hatchery in the state of Oregon.

Bonneville Lock & Dam

Another National Historic Landmark, Bonneville Dam was the first Public Works Administration dam on the Columbia River, completed in 1938.

Bridge of the Gods

Columbia River crossing for the Pacific Crest Trail, and lowest point on that trail. Named for a Native American legend that explains the local geology.

Hood River

The Hood River Valley is the most important fruit-producing area in the state of Oregon, known for pears, apples, Asian pears, cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, blueberries, and...wine grapes! Here you'll visit two vineyards, where you'll get a hosted beverage at one, and a hosted lunch at the other.

Mount Hood

Mt. Hood is a potentially active stratovolcano, the highest peak in Oregon, and the fourth highest in the Cascades. Not only is it known for its beauty, visible on the skyline of much of northern Oregon and southern Washington, but it is also the most climbed stratovolcano in the Cascades.

Timberline Lodge

This Works Progress Administration project was dedicated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937. It is one of the most unique, and expansive buildings in the State of Oregon, sitting on Mt. Hood above timberline, for utterly sublime views. You can divide your time among interpretive displays, food & drink venues, hiking in summer and snowplay in winter, as you like. The lodge is a National Historic Landmark, and the only ski resort in the US that is open every month of the year.

Experience was absolutely amazing. Marcus is an excellent tour guide. He knew so many historical details, and is a wealth of knowledge, very friendly and goes above and beyond. My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. We went for our Anniversary and it was nothing short of amazing. Loved the nature, scenery, the views and the Vineyard and Winery was a great treat for us. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Our tour guide was awesome! Marcus was interesting, knowledgeable and funny. By the end of the tour we really felt like we had seen all of the Columbia Gorge/Mt Hood area. Marcus even gave us a great tip about where to see thousands of migrating swifts roost for the night st sunset. I highly recommend this tour and our tour guide Marcus!

Our tour guide, Marcus, shared so much about Portland during our tour!! The wine at the vineyard was delicious, the pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the fresh fruit at the orchard was so fresh and juicy! This was an awesome way to see so much of Portland as a first time visitor
