La boucle Hood-Columbia: Timberline, vergers et cascades

Aperçu
Mt. Hood is the highest summit in Oregon, and the fourth highest in the Cascades. 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. You will get intimate with this area through a visit to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, fruit stands in the Hood River Valley, downtown Hood River (your opportunity for lunch and/or alcoholic beverages), and breathtaking stops in the eastern and western Columbia River Gorge (Multnomah Falls included). Your expert guide, with formal background in ecology and natural resources, will teach you about the natural and cultural history of the area, as you drive the Mt.

Highly recommend! My expectations were exceeded. We stopped at 3 waterfalls, Rowena Crest, Hood River for lunch and Timberline Lodge. The snacks were perfect and came in handy. Sam was very knowledgeable as our tour guide!

We have a very good tour with Cher. She was very knowledgeable and informative. We maybe wish we could have stayed longer at Mount Hood. But overall, it was a good experience.

Took this amazing full day tour, we were picked up on exactly on time from our hotel in central Portland by our wonderful guide Cher who went above and beyond to make the excursion truly memorable. She had excellent knowledge of the area and was really engaging throughout the whole experience. As we were a relatively small group she was happy to tailor the day to our various interests and this tour was definitely one of the most enjoyable days of our entire holiday. Would definitely recommend.
