Rejseplan
Vores centrale mødested og afhentningspunkt! En smuk bypark midt i Downtown Portland.
Vi tager af sted fra centrum af Portland og kører østpå langs Columbia River til Troutdale, kendt som Gateway to the Gorge! Vi slutter os til den smukke Historic Columbia River Highway, den første planlagte naturskønne vejbane i USA.
Typisk er 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 bruge omkring 10 minutter på at nyde denne oversete perle lige ud for den historiske motorvej!
Vi slutter vores tur tilbage på Director Park, vores centrale drop off placering i hjertet af Downtown Portland.

What a wonderful tour! Matt was a terrific guide who was knowledgeable about the area and waterfalls. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
The waterfalls are stunning! Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and it's history. There is moderate walking involved.
Mark and Sean are extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant guys to hang around with. Required amount of characters us irritating!
The tour was breathtaking, the falls are phenomenal and our guide Patrick was exceptional. After walking the trails of two of the falls, I wasn't sure I was up the challenge of climbing to the Benson Bridge at Multnomah but with a little encouragement from Patrick, after telling him that I had been walking .2 miles around my neighborhood for weeks to prepare, I decided to take on the challenge. So very happy that I did! Btw, the tiny little post office on the trail is adorable. If you have your postcards written, stamped and ready to go, perhaps you can deposit them there. 😉
The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. This was the best and easiest way to see the falls. We even had time to see an extra falls
A terrific and easy 1/2 day trip out of the city to beautiful nature. The downtown departure/return spot was a no brainer when compared to other tours. The transportation (for smaller groups) is new and comfortable, and when I saw large bus loads at some of the stops I knew I had made the best choice. Sean was an excellent guide and made the tour A+! Nice variety of stops, excellent information, safe, easily accessible for most, engaging. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a great experience on this tour. We got to see lots of waterfalls. The whole tour was well planned and very relaxed. Our tour guide, Norther, was informative, knowledgeable and very friendly! Would recommend…in fact, we did recommend to some fellow hotel guests!!
It was a splendid trip. Guide Zech explained us everything about the places visited, more about forest fire, Portland & Columbia Road. It was an amazing trip.
Mel Yeats was a great tour guide. The whole thing was so relaxing, we both loved the waterfalls and all the trees.
Our tour guide Patrick was a lot of fun and very informative about the whole experience! We had a great time exploring the falls!
