Rejseplan
Vores centrale mødested og afhentningspunkt! En smuk bypark midt i Downtown Portland.
Vi vil afrejse fra downtown Portland og tage øst mod Columbia River til Troutdale, kendt som Gateway to The Gorge! Vi vil tilslutte sig den smukke historiske Columbia River Highway, den første planlagte naturskønne vejbane i USA.
Vores første stop for dagen: Crown Point Vista House. Denne berømte overse sidder 733 fod over Columbia River, oven på resterne af et lavastrømme, der fejede gennem kløften omkring 14-17 millioner år siden! Her finder vi fantastiske 180 graders udsigt over Columbia River Gorge og udforske Vista House. Et intrikat designet observatorium og museum er Vista House noteret på National Register of Historic Places.
Fra Vista House vil vi køre dybere ind i Columbia River National Scenic Area. Vores første vandfald for dagen er den dramatiske Latourell Falls, der falder 249 meter over en massiv mur af columnar basalt. Afhængigt af sæsonen, vil en kort ¼ mile trail vandring blive ført for at få et nærmere billede af faldet.
Det næste vandfald, vi vil besøge, er de berømte Multnomah Falls. Blomstrende 620 fod i to store trin, Multnomah Falls er det højeste vandfald i Oregon og næsthøjeste i nationen! Her kan vi udforske Multnomah Falls Historic Lodge (en Cascadian-stil sten og tømmerhytte indbygget i 1925) samt de smukke Multnomah Falls selv. Den let tilgængelige synsplatform giver en fuld visning af Benson Bridge og cascading falls ud over det.
Vi vil gøre vores vej til Hood River, kendt som Windsurfing Capitol of the World, hvor vi vil holde pause i en time for alle at sprede fritid. Dette giver os mulighed for at udforske byen og spise frokost.
Efter frokosten tager vi os sydpå gennem de maleriske Fruit Loop Orchards og lavendel gårde. Hvis tiden tillader det, kan vi endda gøre et kort stop på en af gården, før vi begynder vores naturskønne drev gennem Mount Hood National Forest!
Mens vi nyder en naturskøn køretur gennem Mount Hood National Forest, har vi mange muligheder for at se Mount Hood før vores sidste stop lige på bjerget ved Timberline Lodge.
For vores sidste stop af dagen, vil vi vind vores vej gennem Mount Hood National Forest, klatring til omkring 6.000 fod i højde, til Timberline Lodge. Dette National Historic Landmark sidder stolt mod Oregon's højeste peak-Mt. Hætte! Tiltrækning over 10.000 klatrere hvert år, Mt. Hood er en mammut at se. Vi har mulighed for at udforske inde i lodge og nyde de omkringliggende Cascade Mountain Range udsigt fra lodgeens udendørs terrasser. Hvis tiden tillader det, kan en kort vandretur til Pacific Crest Trail krydset lige bag lodgen ledes af din guide.
Efter en hel dag ud på turné slutter vi tilbage på Director Park, vores drop-off-sted i hjertet af Downtown Portland.

This tour was such an enjoyable experience. The waterfalls and Mount Hood were breathtaking. The guide, Sean Connolly, was so fun and informative. He made the experience great. I loved his ecology fun facts and he even offered to take pics of everyone.
We had Sean as our tour guide and had an absolutely wonderful time. He engaged with us, learned everyone’s names and where they were from, and was incredibly welcoming. He was an excellent driver, and kept us safe and timely. The best part was his expansive knowledge. I’ve done the waterfall tour + hood river valley experience before, but it was exponentially better with the deep historical and geological insights from Sean. 10/10!
The entire experience was amazing. Daniel shared such interesting dialogue the entire trip. He is a wealth of knowledge, and made the trip a 10/10!
Time at each stop is a little short. But that's the nature of a tour this extensive. The views were gorgeous and Daniel was wonderful. Very knowledgeable. He also had plenty of recommendations for all sorts of things in Portland which was the best!
Knowledgeable, clear, fun, and enthusiastic guide! Daniel is a kind-hearted and responsible person..
Outstanding tour! We were worried it would be too long of a day but there were plenty of stops to get us out of the van and enjoy the amazing scenery. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
This was a fantastic trip with plenty to see and lots of short stops included to look, take photos and a quick leg stretch. Patrick is a very knowledgeable guide about so many different things and was happy to answer questions.
This was, by far, one of the best tours we have ever been on. Patrick was amazing and made the trip very memorable.
This was an excellent experience!! Our guide and driver was Sean, and he was chock full of interesting facts about what we were seeing. He never rushed us, and we felt that we spent a good amount of time in every place. Granted, we did run over schedule, but he did check with the group to see if we had a need to get back to the city within a certain timeframe. I’ve done a lot of tours in my time, and I’d place this one up there with the best. This company and Sean clearly know what they’re doing and set a really high bar. Would highly recommend to all!
It was awesome, Chuck our driver was great, great views, great stops, loved it, recommend it, go for it,
