Overview

The 80 miles of the Columbia River Gorge’s steep rocky sides offer some of the most spectacular scenery in the world: pounding waterfalls, eagles, century-old trees, ferns, flowers, ancient rocks. This half-day of exploring and meditating on wonders with very short hikes and visits to overlooks and vistas will have you gasping in awe. We'll visit waterfalls and overlooks, selected by our guides to include both the most iconic, like the unmissable Latourell Falls, a stunning plunge-style falls that is one of the most iconic in Oregon, and the special. Depending on weather conditions, this could include a few small hidden waterfalls and another spectacular plunge-style falls with columnar basalt. We'll also tell you stories, not just of the geology and botany and the oft-repeated tales of pioneers and road-builders, but also the old stories we've learned, of gods and animal spirits and the Beaver princess tragically turned into a waterfall.

Itinerary

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area

After meeting you at the starting point, 833 SE Main Street #124, we'll head out in one of our comfortable vans. The tour all takes place in the Columbia River Gorge, in the waterfall-laden western end of an 80-mile (130-km) canyon.

30 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.

30 minutes
Latourell Falls

Latourell is the most impressive of the plunge-style waterfalls, tumbling 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. At Latourell, you'll have the opportunity for a longer hike, up to 2 miles or 3 km. Breathe deep: you'll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

30 minutes
Vista House

**Vista House is currently open limited hours! If it is closed, we will stop to take photos of this architectural icon and see the view.** At the most beautiful rest stop in Oregon, we'll stop, take a walk to the upper deck (weather permitting), learn about the architectural history, and enjoy what could be the most expensive public bathroom in the Pacific Northwest. We'll also remember the Wasco people, who found this one of their holy places.

10 minutes
N/A

View an expansive 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. **Due to road closures we sometimes replace this stop with an alternative.**

10 minutes
Bridal Veil Falls State Park

This hidden waterfall is one of the state's most visited and most romantic. A 2/3 mile, 1km hike takes us down to the gorgeous spot that we believe is a genuine fairy land. **Due to weather or traffic conditions or road closures, this waterfall is sometimes replaced with an alternative!**

30 minutes

Amazing experience from...

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience from start to finish! As a solo traveler I did not feel left out at all. Our small group of 5 got along well together and really enjoyed bonding during the experience. Our tour guide Carrie was exceptional. Her experience was a major plus. She was able to answer all our questions and was just a pleasure to be around. Highly recommend her and the company.

Pleasant hike

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a nice easy hike. Though parts of the hike was icy thus slippery. Wished we brought ice cleats or were to bring or hired at their store.

Great tour

Such a fun day! Beautiful waterfalls. Our guide sarah was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

Waterfalls Galore.

Published on Jan, 2025

This was an amazing half-day tour with our guide, Carrie. We were able to see around 4 waterfalls and an extra one for good measure. My partner and I were fortunate that we had a smaller group so it was easier for our guide to “wrangle us” for the tour. I highly recommend this tour company.

Gorgeous!

Published on Jan, 2025

The Columbia gorge area just outside Portland is really stunning. It was so nice to be driven there and taken to the best waterfalls by a guide. Ana was such a great guide! She was friendly, informative and such fun to spend half the day with. She knows so much about the area and was able to talk about the local flora, fauna and the history of the rock formations. I’d highly recommend this tour!
