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.

It was a fantastic tour and our tour guide Steve was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and very professional. An all day tour that could not have been better. First visit to Oregon and it could not have been better!

I'd give it six stars if I could! I was visiting Oregon from Lincoln, Nebraska and really wanted to try a tour of the the waterfalls and Mt. Hood. I was a little hesitant, thinking, I don't want some cheesey, tourist-y, tour and waste my money... But I saw a lot of great reviews for this one, so I went for it. Our tour guide, Steve, was so great. Very friendly and knew so much about the state and the areas that he took us to. The pride he holds for the state of Oregon showed through and it was above and beyond my expectations. I've been to Oregon twice now in the past year and have found so much that I love about it. I plan to have my husband and family go on this tour someday, too, and you better believe you'll see me again! Thank you for a wonderful experience that I will never forget.

Our group of eight would love to rate this five stars but we were disappointed when our small bus tour became a bus of 47. There is just nothing personal in a tour that size. Jaime was our guide and Nick our driver. We drove along the Historic Highway a twisty climbing road built in 1920. The chuckle about this road is that because it is so long it was decided to build a wooden comfort station for women at a cost of 10,000. Once finished at a cost of 100,00 and beautiful in design it is named Vista House. The day was beautiful and we saw awesome vistas..Latourell Falls and Multnomash Falls which has 4million visitors a year....interesting since that is the total population of Oregon! The Columbia Gorge is 80 miles long and has 90 active waterfalls, most active only in the rainy season. We stopped for lunch in Hood River which is the windsurfing capital of Oregon. Our final stop was Timberline Lodge located at 6000 feet of the 11,540 feet Mt Hood. The lodge was dedicated by Roosevelt in 1837.
We had a full day and learned much in beautiful settings. If you don't enjoy traveling in the big bus, it can take away a bit.
