Overview

This is our favorite tour! One of the most unique experiences in the world, riding down the historic highway built for Model Ts with the spectacular Columbia Gorge unfolding beneath us. We transport our guests and bikes in comfortable vans, and our guides ride with our small groups for much of the ride. You'll get personal attention and the safest experience we can provide. Beyond the 180 years of pioneers and loggers, before the century-old highway, this was the land of people with a rich mythology. We tell the stories that have been told to us by the indigenous people as best we can. You'll visit waterfalls, with engaged hiking and a leisurely approach to the tour itinerary. We want you to enjoy yourself -- whether you are traveling alone or with a big group. Ages 13 and up. (We can accommodate much bigger groups traveling together, please reach out!) Please note there are cars that share the scenic highway.

Meeting points

Our shop is #124, in a silver and red building. If you're having trouble finding us, walk north on SE 9th Avenue from Main Street and look to your left!

Itinerary

N/A

We'll start by fitting you for bikes at our shop at 833 SE Main Street #121, before we head out in comfortable vans on the day's excursion.

10 minutes
Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

After we fit you for bikes at our shop, we'll head out in one of our comfortable vans. The bike ride and hike both take place in the Columbia River Gorge, in the waterfall-laden western end of an 80-mile (130-km) canyon. The road we use for the bike ride is a shared road with cars.

30 minutes
Multnomah Falls

(Or the Vista House / Chanticleer Point) Visit a beautiful vista of the Columbia River Gorge, take photos, and hear the story of who was here before us. We'll also tell you how the waterfalls were created before getting on your bikes and beginning to ride.

30 minutes
Latourell Falls

(Or Horsetail Falls) Get off your bike and start the true immersion in the forest, what the Japanese call Shinrin Yoku. We'll walk around the creek containing stunning plunge-style waterfalls, which tumbles over layers of 15 million-year-old columnar and entablature basalt frosted with lichens and, according to local legend, carries the spirit of a Beaver princess who led a tragic life. We'll send you on a locals-favorite hike. Breathe deep: you'll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

45 minutes
Bridal Veil Falls State Park

(Or a similar waterfall) We'll ride our bikes a little more, 2-4 miles (3-6 km) more before seeing one of the most beautiful and little-visited viewpoints in the Gorge. In the spring it is a carpet of camas, a native food.

15 minutes
Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and one of the most impressive, and most photographed, waterfalls in the U.S. If you're chasing waterfalls: this is the one many are seeking to catch. We'll stop at the falls for photos and the 1/4 mile / 1/2 km hike to the iconic Benson Bridge.

30 minutes

Angela did a great job showing us around Columbia river gorge. Was happy to share recommendations for other great Portland spots

Awesome guides

Published on Sep, 2024

The guides for Around Portland are great, and really easy and fun to cycle and talk with. Kelly was my guide for Bike Around Portland. She was awesome and super knowledgable about all things Portland. A guided bike tour is definitely the way the way to do it. Angela guided the Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls tour, cool and also super knowledgeable about the Gorge, it's history, geology, everything. And of course Portland too. Cycling near the river on the scenic road, bombing through the trees and seeing the waterfalls and historic structures... go experience it!

Favorite Part of my trip to Portland! Highly recommend for people chasing waterfalls.

A Wonderful Half Day trip! Around Portland was super to get to from my hotel. Sara (our tour leader) was super nice and knowledgeable about the local geology and history of the area. I was worried about this tour being difficult due to the hiking and biking aspects but it was surprisingly easy! This tour is definitely doable for almost everyone. You do not need to be an avid cyclist or hiker. You do not need to be in amazing shape. We took many stops and weren't really hiking or biking for more than 15-20mins at a time. I went by myself and highly recommend any solo travelers to do the same. Group tours are a great recommendations on what to do in the area and to chat with other travelers.
