The experience

The tour picks you up at your Downtown Portland hotel and drives 45 minutes into the Columbia River Gorge, then works backward through five waterfalls one at a time. You spend most of the morning on foot (2.5 of the 3.5 hours in the gorge), which means real time to photograph, explore the state parks and stand in front of each one instead of glimpsing it from a parking lot. The guide handles the route and the timing, so the day holds together without you building it.

Multnomah Falls, Oregon's tallest at 620 feet, gets a front-row parking spot and time to walk the lodge, grab food or browse the gift shop. Latourell Falls drops 290 feet off a basalt overhang and sits right on the route. Oneonta Gorge is a narrow slot canyon where the water runs close enough to touch. Shepperds Dell is a quick stop with a short walk. The tour finishes at Crown Point Vista House, which overlooks the entire gorge: the vantage point most visitors miss because they are driving instead of riding.

Small groups mean lower crowds at each stop and a guide who knows which trails clear out first and where the light hits best. Entry to Multnomah Falls is included. All other fees and taxes are built into the price. The route can shift due to weather or road conditions, and the operator will let you know if that happens.

What’s included
