Czego oczekiwać
1
Narodowy obszar widokowy Columbia River Gorge
Drugi w kraju Narodowy Obszar Krajobrazowy, Columbia River Gorge, jest również największym i najgęściej zaludnionym, oferując udogodnienia ośrodków miejskich w pobliżu dzikiego piękna przyrody. A temu pięknu dorównują tylko historie, które można tu opowiedzieć: o plemionach łowiących ryby, handlujących i prosperujących wzdłuż jej brzegów; epokowej podróży Lewisa i Clarka Corps of Discovery w latach 1805-06; pionierów spuszczających swoje doczesne dobra w dół jej bystrza; Samuela Hilla, który był orędownikiem pierwszej w kraju malowniczej autostrady i przyciągał pokolenia gości do tego oszałamiającego, przystojnego miejsca. To dobrze, że Columbia River Gorge jest znany jako jeden z 7 cudów stanu Oregon. Będziemy przejeżdżać przez ten obszar, eksplorując Wąwóz.

Columbia River Highway
Zbudowana w latach 1913-1922 siedemdziesięcioczteromilowa autostrada Columbia River Highway rozciągała się na wschód od Sandy River w pobliżu Troutdale do Dalles. Dzięki pionierskim postępom w projektowaniu dróg, droga jest wybitnym przykładem nowoczesnego rozwoju autostrad w XX-wiecznej Ameryce. Będziemy jechać tą autostradą, zwiedzając Wąwóz.
3
Dom Visty
Usytuowany na szczycie jednego z najbardziej panoramicznych punktów widokowych w wąwozie rzeki Columbia, Vista House zapewnia najbardziej majestatyczny widok na wąwóz. Często określany jako „Klejnot koronny wąwozu rzeki Columbia”, Vista House został zbudowany w latach 1916–1918 jako pomnik pionierów Oregonu, malowniczy punkt widokowy i wygodna stacja dla osób podróżujących nowo wybudowaną historyczną autostradą Columbia River. Vista House i widok, jaki oferuje, z pewnością Cię zadziwi i zainspiruje.

Wodospady Latourell
Ten olśniewający wodospad spada 249 stóp (76 m) ponad masywną ścianę bazaltu, a następnie pędzi przez las do rzeki Columbia. Spadająca woda Latourell jest otoczona jednymi z najdoskonalszych kolumnowych formacji bazaltowych na północno-zachodnim Pacyfiku, które są ozdobione dużą florescencyjną plamą żółtych porostów i owiane jaskrawą zieloną roślinnością. Zejdziemy do basenu z misą ponczu poniżej wodospadu, gdzie usłyszysz ogromny szum wody i poczujesz chłodną mgłę, którą tworzy. Z łatwością zrozumiesz, dlaczego to wyjątkowe miejsce jest jednym z najczęściej fotografowanych wodospadów w Oregonie.
5
Wodospady Multnomah
Ten starożytny wodospad o długości 189 m, zasilany podziemnymi strumieniami, które pochodzą z wielu mil powyżej Modrzewia, jest podzielony na dwie części; górne spadają z imponującej wysokości 542 stóp do basenu i ponownie spadają z wysokości 69 stóp, tworząc strumień, który wpada do rzeki Columbia. Wodospad Multnomah to drugi co do wielkości całoroczny wodospad w Stanach Zjednoczonych i najwyższy w Oregonie, a także naturalna atrakcja Oregonu numer jeden, przyciągająca ponad 2,5 miliona odwiedzających rocznie z całego świata. U podnóża wodospadu znajduje się Historic Multnomah Falls Lodge, całodniowa chata z pełnym zakresem usług, z restauracją, sklepem z pamiątkami, barem z przekąskami i espresso oraz centrum interpretacyjnym. Będziesz miał czas na spacer do Benson Bridge i zwiedzanie loży.

Dzielnica Perłowa
Jedna z najbardziej pożądanych dzielnic Portland, Pearl District, jest domem dla najbardziej znanych szefów kuchni i restauracji w mieście, światowej klasy galerii sztuki oraz tętniących życiem sklepów i butików.

10
Targ rolniczy w Portland
PSU Farmers Market to światowej klasy targ rolniczy, który przyczynia się do sukcesu lokalnych hodowców i producentów żywności oraz tworzy tętniącą życiem przestrzeń spotkań społeczności.

PSU Farmers Market będzie odwiedzany tylko podczas naszej porannej wycieczki po mieście Portland, a będziesz miał czas na spacer i zwiedzanie rynku. To będzie ostatni przystanek wycieczki, więc możesz tu zostać, zjeść lunch i zwiedzać tak długo, jak chcesz!
11
Studia Mississippi
North Mississippi Avenue oferuje długi odcinek tętniących życiem sklepów, wyjątkowych barów, klubów muzycznych i restauracji (i znajduje się zaledwie pół mili od jeszcze bardziej uznanych restauracji i barów na wschodzącej North Williams Avenue). Ta lokalizacja będzie odwiedzana tylko podczas popołudniowej wycieczki po mieście Portland, a będziesz mieć czas na spacer i zwiedzanie tego obszaru.

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
The nation’s second National Scenic Area, the Columbia River Gorge is also the largest and most densely populated, offering the amenities of urban centers close to the wild beauty of the outdoors. And that beauty is matched only by the stories that can be told here: of tribal people fishing, trading and thriving along its banks; of Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery epochal 1805-06 journey; of pioneers launching their worldly possessions down its rapids; of Samuel Hill championing the nation’s first scenic highway and enticing generations of visitors to this heady, handsome place. It’s fitting that the Columbia River Gorge is known as one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon. We will drive through this area as we explore the Gorge.
14
Columbia River Highway
Constructed from 1913 to 1922, the seventy-four-mile Columbia River Highway extended east from the Sandy River near Troutdale to The Dalles.

The Vista House and the view it offers are sure to amaze and inspire you.
16
Latourell Falls
This dazzling waterfall plunges 249 feet (76 m) over a massive wall of basalt and then rushes through the forest into the Columbia River. The falling water of Latourell is framed by some of the most perfect columnar basalt formations in the Pacific Northwest that are adorned with a large florescent patch of yellow lichen and shrouded in brilliant green flora. We’ll venture down to the punch-bowl pool below the falls, where you’ll hear the tremendous rush of water and feel the cool mist that it creates. You’ll easily realize why this special place is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Oregon.
17
Multnomah Falls
Fed by underground streams that originate miles above on Larch Mountain, this ancient 620 foot (189 m) waterfall is divided into two sections; the upper falls plummets an impressive 542 feet into a pool and again drops 69 feet to form a creek that runs into the Columbia River. Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the United States and the highest in Oregon, and is Oregon’s number one natural attraction, drawing over 2.5 million visitors a year from around the world. At the base of the waterfall sits the Historic Multnomah Falls Lodge, a full-service day lodge complete with restaurant, gift shop, snack and espresso bar and interpretative center.

Latourell Falls
This dazzling waterfall plunges 249 feet (76 m) over a massive wall of basalt and then rushes through the forest into the Columbia River. The falling water of Latourell is framed by some of the most perfect columnar basalt formations in the Pacific Northwest that are adorned with a large florescent patch of yellow lichen and shrouded in brilliant green flora. We’ll venture down to the punch-bowl pool below the falls, where you’ll hear the tremendous rush of water and feel the cool mist that it creates. You’ll easily realize why this special place is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Oregon.
61
Multnomah Falls
Fed by underground streams that originate miles above on Larch Mountain, this ancient 620 foot (189 m) waterfall is divided into two sections; the upper falls plummets an impressive 542 feet into a pool and again drops 69 feet to form a creek that runs into the Columbia River. Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the United States and the highest in Oregon, and is Oregon’s number one natural attraction, drawing over 2.5 million visitors a year from around the world. At the base of the waterfall sits the Historic Multnomah Falls Lodge, a full-service day lodge complete with restaurant, gift shop, snack and espresso bar and interpretative center. You will have time to walk to Benson Bridge and explore the lodge.

And that beauty is matched only by the stories that can be told here: of tribal people fishing, trading and thriving along its banks; of Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery epochal 1805-06 journey; of pioneers launching their worldly possessions down its rapids; of Samuel Hill championing the nation’s first scenic highway and enticing generations of visitors to this heady, handsome place. It’s fitting that the Columbia River Gorge is known as one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon. We will drive through this area as we explore the Gorge.

Never had the experience because you sent the wrong pickup location and I was not picked up. I’m sure no one will ever see this

We did not give you the wrong pick up location. You need to take 100% personal responsibility for going to the wrong hotel for pick up. You chose to cancel the tour instead of waiting for the Tour Guide to come back and pick you up (which I offered you) AND I gave you a full refund, even though it was your fault that you went to the wrong hotel for pick up. I spoke with you on the phone in July and you agreed to the Hyatt Regency as the pick up location. That was followed up with emails between you and I where you replied the following on July 8, 2024 at 3:15 pm: "Thank you. I can only pray you are right. I thought the previous rep was telling the truth. I will see you between 8:45 and 9:00am on Saturday, Oct 12, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Portland at the Oregon Convention Center FRONT DOOR after parking at 190 NE Multnomah. Any idea how long this drive would be from our hotel at Country Inn and Suites on N. Whitaker? Also is there a phone number I can call a few days before to confirm this arrangement? Thank you again. Blessings," When I spoke to you on the morning of your tour at 8:59 am I read you the email where you agreed to the pick up time and location of the Hyatt Regency. Yet you still blame our company for what was clearly a mistake on your part. You need to stop blaming us and realize that you made the mistake and take responsibility for that mistake.
