Columbia River Gorge Waterfall Tour
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Escape the city and embark on a stunning day trip from Portland to the majestic Columbia River Gorge. This Columbia River Gorge waterfall tour follows the historic highway – a marvel of early 20th-century engineering – offering unforgettable views and a deep dive into the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
We’ll take in magnificent views, including at Vista House on Crown Point, with its stunning architecture. Then experience the awe-inspiring Multnomah Falls, where a double cascade of water invites you to feel the mist on your skin. Cross the stone bridge for an unforgettable view of Oregon’s “Rhine Valley.” Discover the rustic charm of a historic inn (100 years old this year!), a gift shop, and visitor center, nestled in the old growth trees.
Then a serene walk through lush forests leads you to Latourell Falls, where water plunges past a backdrop of cloud and columnar basalt in a stunning display of nature’s power.
We’ll explore additional waterfalls and viewpoints, chosen based on weather and traffic, each showcasing its unique character, from the vigorous lash of a horse tail to the gentle spread of a bridal veil.
Throughout this journey, your knowledgeable tour guide will enrich your experience with accounts, legends, and insights into the region’s history and natural wonders. This tour promises not only visual delights but also a deeper connection to the majestic landscapes of the Columbia River Gorge.
