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.

5.00This 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.

5.00This is the Mt Hood loop! We get to see Mt Hood from all directions and up close! From vantage point to vantage point, Multnomah Falls, Bridges of the Gods, Hood River downtown (lunch), and Timberline Lodge are lined up nicely! The guide is a true professional. John, the stories and experience u shared in the van connected everything together seamlessly. Told u the weather’d be nice. :)
Give Garrett a raise. Bravo!

5.00The tour was awesome and provided an amazing experience of so many Mt. Hood+ highlights for people with limited time in the area and desire to see as much as possible. It was unforgettable, truly. Garrett was amazing. Between his communication before, during, and at the conclusion of the tour, his knowledge and enthusiasm for the area, and efficiency is keeping the tour group moving, this dude provided a stellar experience.
Best experience for our first time

5.00This day trip was a great way to experience a lot of the area’s highlights in a small amount of time. The guide, John, did a wonderful job of explaining what we were seeing. We were on and off the van numerous times to gaze out at overlooks of the Columbia River, and for me, the highlights were Multnomah Falls and Timberline Lodge - with snow! I wish we had more time in Hood River though.
Wonderful day!!

5.00This was a great trip and well worth taking. We had a total of eight folks in our van and we were all picked up at our four different hotels. Our guide was John and he was super friendly and full of fun facts about the area. Took us to see all the places listed plus added in a few more that we really enjoyed. We were particularly happy to not be driving in the Friday afternoon traffic into Portland! Great way to see the gorge and Mt. Hood!
