What To Expect
Columbia River Gorge
The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area protects the spectacular canyon where the Columbia River cuts through the Cascade mountains - with cliffs and overlooks of Washington to the north and Oregon's mountains and waterfalls to the south. The Gorge is unique in its natural and cultural history, as well as its designation as a National Scenic Area. As we drive to Multnomah Falls and Hood River we will be driving through the Columbia River Gorge.
Vista House
Nestled atop a picturesque perch in the Columbia River Gorge, lies Vista House – a true stunner that boasts of the most jaw-dropping views in the region. Known as the “Crown Jewel of the Columbia River Gorge,” Vista House was crafted between 1916 and 1918 as a tribute to Oregon’s brave pioneers and as a haven for travelers on the newly minted Historic Columbia River Highway. With its intricate sandstone masonry, opulent marble, and sparkling amber-green art glass windows, Vista House is a dazzling beauty.

5.00Excellent day tour to Mt Hood. Tour guide Phoebe was very informative throughout the tour. I appreciated that there were multiple stops throughout the day to explore and get up close to the sites. Highly recommend.

More Time at Multnomah Falls Would Make This Tour Perfect

4.00Our day trip to Multnomah Falls and Mount Hood was beautiful overall, and our tour guide did a great job throughout the day. The highlight of the trip was definitely Multnomah Falls. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy the stop. Forty-five minutes at the falls would have been much more appropriate, allowing visitors enough time to walk toward the bridge, take photos, visit the gift shop, and use the restrooms without feeling rushed. Multnomah Falls is also the only major waterfall on the tour and has by far the best gift shop. The Timberline Lodge gift shop is very small and geared specifically toward the lodge itself. It would have been helpful if the tour guide had pointed out that Multnomah Falls is the best opportunity on the trip to purchase souvenirs. I would suggest adjusting the timing of some of the stops. The overlook where the horseshoe shaped road photos is could likely be shortened to about five minutes, and the stop at Timberline Lodge could also be shorter. The extra time would be much better spent at Multnomah Falls. I also really enjoyed Packard Farms. There were plenty of treats and local products. The town where we stopped for lunch was cute and offered a good variety of dining options. However, I would have much rather grab lunch on the go and enjoyed it at Packard farms. One suggestion for future tours would be for guides to provide more information about restroom availability. Letting guests know where restrooms are located and how long it will be until the next restroom stop would be very helpful, especially on a full-day tour. Overall, it was a wonderful day with beautiful scenery, enjoyable stops, and an excellent tour guide. With a little more time at Multnomah Falls, the experience would have been even better.
Best tour guide and tour!

5.00This tour took all of the stress of planning and navigating completely out of the equation. Highly recommend. Our guide, Gunner, picked us up from our hotel. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and fun to be around. We saw so many gorgeous natural areas surrounding Portland. There is no way we could have seen or known about many of these places had we rented our own car.
Highly recommend!!!

5.00The views are awesome, our guide Phoebe is always energetic and heartwarming! I love her kept sharing the stories or experiences about the forests and scenery along the way. And her recommendation about the restaurant of the Hood town also brought me to a magical experience, which I had the most unforgettable burger I’ve ever had. The trip took about 8 hours. I can say that this trip is worth to try.
The Beginning of Oregon’s Exploration.
