5.00I would highly recommend the Columbia River Gorge tour. This is a fantastic way of seeing the rugged beauty of Oregon. Our Wilderness Adventures tour guide, Mark, was very knowledgeable about the different areas of the gorge. Very impressed with the Multnomah and Horsetail Falls. We will definitely return to explore the other areas that Mark pointed out. I'm glad we took this tour!
