What To Expect

1

Vista House

Guests will enjoy an interesting narration describing the cultural highlights of Portland and the surrounding area as we head towards the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway in our comfortable high-roof luxury touring van. We pass through the charming community of Troutdale on our way towards world famous waterfall row! The Columbia River Gorge plays host to the highest density of year-round waterfalls anywhere in the United States and abounds with jaw-dropping natural splendor, stunning vistas, lush old growth forests, a plethora of hiking trails and riveting Native American and pioneer history. Our first stop will be the historic Vista House (Crown Point) which dates all the way back to 1918. Guests can use our “million dollar” restroom (which serves as a museum and way station for Gorge travelers) covered in marble and mahogany and enjoy the truly incredible views which complement the elegant architecture of the building. Incredible photo opportunities abound!

Latourell Falls

This 249-foot tall waterfall provides a wonderful example of both columnar and entablature basalt, formed by the numerous lava flows that created many of the impressive geological formations of the region. Latourell Falls is also unique in the fact that it falls straight down from the overhanging cliff above without tumbling off any other surface before hitting the ground below in an impressive eruption of mist (and rainbows) if the lighting is just right! A short trail leads down from the wooded parking area to a true feast for the senses as chartreuse-colored Golden cobblestone lichen pops brightly against the dark natural "cathedral" of lava draped in ferns, salmonberries, clovers, wild cucumber vines, wildflowers of every sort in the spring and summer and towering stands of firs and maples. Drink in the clean invigorating sent of the forest and feel the mist of the falls upon your face while invigorating the soul and the spirit!

    Adam was a fantastic guide and we were able to cover so much in just a day!. My family loved it. Each stop was very accessible too for those with a low walking capacity. Adam curated such a thoughtful tour and the narration was perfect. A great way to experience the gorge and Mount hood. Ban was also v comfortable for two 6’+ adults! :)

    Adam was the most amazing tour guide. The breadth and depth of his knowledge was astonishing. And I appreciated the effort he made to engage my thirteen year old, who also had a terrific time. The tour itself was very well designed, and included a big variety of excellent and beautiful activities. And Adam snuck in a few terrific extras. Highly recommend!

  • Great Tour!!!
