Itinerario
Nuestro lugar de reunión central y punto de recogida! Un hermoso parque urbano en el centro de Portland.
Saldremos del centro de Portland y nos dirigiremos hacia el este a lo largo del río Columbia hasta Troutdale, ¡conocido como la Entrada a la Garganta! Nos uniremos a la hermosa carretera histórica del río Columbia, la primera carretera escénica planificada en los Estados Unidos.
Nuestra primera parada del día: Crown Point Vista House. ¡Este famoso mirador se encuentra a 733 pies sobre el río Columbia, sobre los restos de un flujo de lava que se extendió por el desfiladero hace unos 14 a 17 millones de años! Aquí, encontraremos increíbles vistas de 180 grados de la garganta del río Columbia y exploraremos la Casa Vista. Un observatorio y museo de diseño intrincado, la Casa Vista está incluida en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.
Desde la Casa Vista, conduciremos hacia el área escénica nacional del río Columbia. Nuestra primera cascada para el día será la espectacular Latourell Falls, que se hunde 249 pies sobre una pared masiva de basalto columnar. Dependiendo de la temporada, se realizará una caminata corta de ¼ de milla para ver más de cerca las cataratas.
La próxima cascada que visitaremos serán las famosas Cataratas de Multnomah. Plomando 620 pies en dos pasos principales, ¡Multnomah Falls es la cascada más alta de Oregon y la segunda más alta de la nación! Aquí, podemos explorar el histórico Lodge de Multnomah Falls (un alojamiento de piedra y madera al estilo de Cascadian construido en 1925), así como las hermosas Cataratas de Multnomah. La plataforma de visualización de fácil acceso ofrece una vista completa del puente de Benson y la cascada cae más allá.
Nos dirigiremos hacia Hood River, conocido como el Capitolio de Windsurf del Mundo, donde haremos una pausa de una hora para que todos se dispersen por el tiempo libre. Esto nos da la oportunidad de explorar la ciudad y almorzar.
Después del almuerzo, nos dirigiremos hacia el sur, a través de los pintorescos huertos de Fruit Loop y las granjas de lavanda. ¡Si el tiempo lo permite, incluso podemos hacer una breve parada en uno de los puestos de la granja antes de comenzar nuestro recorrido panorámico por el Bosque Nacional Mount Hood!
Mientras disfrutamos de un recorrido panorámico por el Bosque Nacional Mount Hood, tendremos muchas oportunidades de ver Mount Hood antes de nuestra última parada justo en la montaña en Timberline Lodge.
Para nuestra última parada del día, nos dirigiremos a través del Bosque Nacional Mount Hood, subiendo a aproximadamente 6,000 pies de altura, hasta Timberline Lodge. Este Monumento Histórico Nacional se enorgullece del pico más alto de Oregon: el monte. ¡Capucha! Atraer a más de 10.000 escaladores cada año, el monte. Hood es un mamut para la vista. Tendremos la oportunidad de explorar el interior del hotel y disfrutar de las vistas de la Cordillera de las Cascadas desde los patios al aire libre. Si su tiempo lo permite, su guía puede dirigir una caminata corta hasta el cruce de Pacific Crest Trail justo detrás del albergue.
Después de un día completo de gira, terminamos de regreso en Director Park, nuestra ubicación de entrega en el corazón del centro de Portland.

There are several stops including a fruit orchard and small town for lunch. There’s no itinerary so we didn’t know this is advance. We might have eaten at the Lodge at Mt Hood if we had known. The tour was very informative and we would recommend it! Our tour guide,Mel, was very knowledgeable.
Hi there! We are unsure what you mean about their being "no itinerary", as our itinerary is very specific on all Viator booking platforms and anywhere else this tour may be booked. Timberline Lodge is a wonderful place, however our stop there is not at typical lunch time nor is the restaurant open. Thanking you for touring with us and we are glad you had a good time!
The tour was good, the spots were nice. There could have been more scenic spots included in the itinerary. I was a bit disappointed as Mt.Hood was cancelled due to wildfire warning. They refunded some amount,but instead it would have been great if we had a chance to see Mt.hood from any other place close by.
Had a great tour with Sean. We had signed up for an 8-hour tour but had to change to a 4-hour tour due to wildfires in the area. But the 4-hour tour was great, we saw several waterfalls and incredible views of the Columbia River Gorge. Sean was a wealth of information and the van was new and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Easy to book. Saved us driving to these areas and parking on own. Driver informative of local area and historical facts. Beautiful waterfalls. Only reason not a top rating is because of local forest fire nearby. We couldn't see Mt. Hood at our stop from Timberline Lodge, due to smoke! Vista House closed. No fault of tour company. Praying for fire fighters we passed along the way. I would do tour again on a better day!
Thank you for acknowledging we did all we can with the situation at hand. We DO hope to see you again sometime when conditions are ideal.
Such a beautiful scenery took us to all the places. Sean was really awesome. all the waterfalls were very beautiful. They were not far away less than a mile to reach.
The waterfalls were beautiful and the guide very knowledgeable about the land and environment. We had booked the full day to include Mt Hood but the road was closed due to fire. Tour company refunded that portion of the cost without being as.
The tour was perfect. Plenty of time to explore and so much to see. Daniel was great. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour. 😃
Would not recommend this tour company. Our guide, Mel, seemed irritated for the entire tour (slamming the van doors, complaining about equipment issues, and making little to no effort to interact with the group or make travelers feel welcome). I don’t know if she was just having an off day, but it made the whole experience uncomfortable. Ironically, the friendliest she was the whole time was at the end, when she asked for tips. This was a stark contrast to two other tours I took in Portland, where the guides were warm and genuinely made the trips memorable. The itinerary also felt off. We spent 25 minutes at a fruit stand but only a few minutes at the actual waterfalls, which didn’t make sense (I suspect the company gets a kickback for the fruit stand stop). I have this tour 2 starts instead of one because we still got to see some good spots. There are many other companies that offer these tours. I highly recommend going with them instead.
Hello, We apologize that your tour with us did not meet your expectations. We hope to create memorable, friendly and lasting experiences for all guests. Guides do have occasional off days. If equipment was malfunctioning, we will do our best to remedy in the moment. Looking at the GPS for your tour day, it does look like some of the waterfall stops were shorter than usual, but your Fruit Stand stop seemed in line with how long we often stay there (15-20 minutes). We want to assure you and any other guests that we do NOT get kickbacks from any vendor on tour. Our stops are chosen to be a representative of the best of the region, as chosen by our staff. We are glad you had other positive experiences in Portland. Should you ever come back, we would love the opportunity to make it right.
Very fun. Daniel our guide was great- very informative & approachable. Great scenery. Glad we went!
We had an amazing time visiting Portland and this tour was such a big part of it, if you’re on the fence, do it, you won’t regret it! Patrick our guide was so accommodating and knowledgeable- learned a lot about the city and its landscape! Great value for the money you get to see great features- mountain hood my favorite and get a taste of Portland.
