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.

I participated in the Mount Hood Day Trip from Portland to Multnomah Falls and Hood River all day tour. I found the tour to be as advertised. I was picked up in a clean, comfortable van. (and I was nervous about this due to a few negative comments in other reviews) Tour guide and driver Jamie greeted me (and the others) with a smile and a welcome. Jamie proved herself to be a good driver and a holder of an amazing amount of information. She spoke knowledgeably about what we were seeing and its status today as well as its’ history. She also, especially on the drive back to Portland, added a huge amount of information that may not have been specific to the itinerary but was helpful to tourists in Portland. The tour itself showed us the beauty of the area outside of Portland. The waterfalls, the river, the mountains, Mt. Hood etc. etc. were all stunning. The procedure was Jamie gave us information and then we were on our own at each stop, meeting back at the van at an assigned time. It worked beautifully. Those who wanted to walk closer to a site had sufficient time and those who wanted to stay near the van, could do that too. My personal negative is I would have liked to have found a tour that allowed enough time at the waterfall to walk/hike the 1-2 miles needed to get even closer (are you listening HUB tours) THAT, however is NOT a negative for this tour, since such walks/hikes were not advertised as part of the tour so I wasn’t expecting them. This tour involved a lot of Van time AND since I read the itinerary that is exactly what I expected. In summation, as a solo traveler, therefore, not renting a vehicle I would not hesitate for a second to go with this company on a different tour.
