What To Expect

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area protects the spectacular canyon where the Columbia River cuts through the Cascade mountains - with cliffs and overlooks of Washington to the north and Oregon's mountains and waterfalls to the south. The Gorge is unique in its natural and cultural history, as well as its designation as a National Scenic Area. As we drive to Multnomah Falls and Hood River we will be driving through the Columbia River Gorge.

Multnomah Falls

A waterfall as magnificent and memorable as any in the country is located just a 30- minute drive outside of Portland. Visiting Multnomah Falls, a 611-foot-tall roaring, awe-inspiring cascade of icy water, lets you experience the power and beauty of nature up close and with ease. We will stop here and you will have time to walk to Benson Bridge and explore the historic Multnomah Falls Lodge.

Rowena Crest Viewpoint

Overlooking a major chokepoint along the Ice Age Floods path, Rowena Crest lies at nearly 700 feet above the Columbia River at the upstream end of Rowena Plateau, a miles-long promontory that protrudes into the path of the river. This forces the river around the plateau through a relatively narrow section of the Gorge known as the Rowena Gap. We will stop here and enjoy the view while taking amazing photographs!

Mount Hood

Mt. Hood’s perpetually snowy peak — crowned by eleven glaciers, one for every thousand feet it rises above sea level — can be seen from miles and miles away. It’s home to a total of six ski areas, making it a great base camp for skiers. Beautiful alpine lakes with names like Lost, Trillium and Mirror dot Mt. Hood’s flanks, each offering its own unique view of the mountain.

Timberline Lodge

Constructed in 1937, Timberline Lodge stands on the south slope of Mt. Hood at an elevation of 6,000 feet. This beautiful 55,000 square foot structure rises out of a pristine alpine landscape and is still being used for its original intent – a magnificent ski lodge and mountain retreat for everyone to enjoy. Legendary and awe-inspiring, it's a tribute to the rugged spirit of the Pacific Northwest and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.

Our trip with John, our tour guide, was fantastic. We were picked up right outside of our hotel and pretty much immediately John was telling us interesting stories and details about the city and buildings we were driving past. Once all of our co-day trippers were picked up we head out toward Mt Hood. This part could have been really boring because it's a lot of highway driving to get away from the city but John kept it entertaining. We learned a lot about the geography of Oregon and the history of Portland, the surrounding area, the historic highway, and more. As you can see from my photos, we stopped at a number of very pretty spots to see waterfalls or lookout over the river. John had a lot of good recommendations for food when we stopped in Hood River. We got lucky with weather and on our trip up Mt Hood we were able to pop out above the clouds and get some absolutely beautiful scenes. Overall it was a really cool trip with lots of great sights and a wonderful tour guide who was personable and knowledgeable.

Great way to see some of Oregon’s beautiful nature without venturing too far outside of Portland! Thoroughly enjoyed views of the Columbia River and Mt. Hood and visiting Multnomah Falls. Our tour guide was excellent and gave us a great deal of info about where we were visiting as well as some Oregon and Portland history.

This was a really easy day out to enjoy. Having spent a fair bit of time in Portland itself, it was great to get out there and experience some of the beautiful natural surrounds. The tour stops were easily accessible and enjoyable, the guide shared great tidbits of information, and nothing about the day felt rushed.
