Itinerário
Nosso ponto de encontro e ponto de encontro central! Um belo parque urbano no meio do centro de Portland.
Partiremos do centro de Portland e seguiremos para o leste ao longo do rio Columbia até Troutdale, conhecida como a passagem para o desfiladeiro! Vamos nos juntar à bela Columbia River Highway, a primeira estrada panorâmica planejada nos Estados Unidos.
Nossa primeira parada para o dia: Crown Point Vista House. Este famoso mirante fica a 733 pés acima do Rio Columbia, sobre os restos de um fluxo de lava que varreu o desfiladeiro por volta de 14 a 17 milhões de anos atrás! Aqui, vamos encontrar incríveis vistas de 180 graus do Columbia River Gorge e explorar a Casa Vista. Um observatório e museu primorosamente projetados, o Vista House está listado no Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.
Da Casa Vista, vamos dirigir mais profundamente na Área Cênica Nacional do Rio Columbia. Nossa primeira cachoeira para o dia será a dramática Latourell Falls, que mergulha 249 metros sobre uma parede maciça de basalto colunar. Dependendo da época, uma curta caminhada de ¼ de milha será levada para uma visão mais próxima das quedas.
A próxima cachoeira que visitaremos será a famosa Multnomah Falls. Mergulhando 620 pés em duas etapas principais, Multnomah Falls é a cachoeira mais alta do Oregon e a segunda mais alta do país! Aqui, podemos explorar o Multnomah Falls Historic Lodge (um estilo em cascata de pedra e madeira construída em 1925), bem como a bela Multnomah Falls em si. A plataforma de visualização de fácil acesso oferece uma visão completa da Ponte Benson e quedas em cascata além dela.
Faremos o nosso caminho para Hood River, conhecido como o Capitólio do Mundo do Windsurf, onde faremos uma pausa por uma hora para todos se dispersarem pelo tempo livre. Isso nos dá a chance de explorar a cidade e almoçar.
Após o almoço, seguiremos em direção ao sul, passando pelos pitorescos pomares Fruit Loop e fazendas de lavanda. Se o tempo permitir, podemos até fazer uma breve parada em uma das barracas antes de iniciar nosso passeio panorâmico pela Mount Hood National Forest!
Enquanto desfruta de um passeio panorâmico pela Floresta Nacional de Mount Hood, teremos muitas oportunidades de ver Mount Hood antes de nossa parada final na montanha em Timberline Lodge.
Para a nossa última parada do dia, vamos percorrer nosso caminho através da Floresta Nacional do Monte Hood, subindo a aproximadamente 6.000 pés de altitude, até o Timberline Lodge. Este marco histórico nacional fica orgulhosamente contra o pico mais alto do Oregon. Capuz! Atraindo mais de 10.000 alpinistas por ano, o Monte. Hood é um mamute a ser visto. Teremos a oportunidade de explorar o interior da pousada e apreciar a vista das montanhas Cascade Mountain Range nos pátios ao ar livre da pousada. Se o tempo permitir, uma curta caminhada até a trilha Pacific Crest Trail, logo atrás do hotel, pode ser conduzida pelo seu guia.
Depois de um dia inteiro em turnê, terminamos no Director Park, nossa localização no coração de Downtown 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.
