Our tour guide Anna has a lovely voice. Loved the insights into plants, berries, and backstories. Good pace and history behind the waterfalls !
The 80 miles of the Columbia River Gorge’s steep rocky sides offer some of the most spectacular scenery in the world: pounding waterfalls, eagles, century-old trees, ferns, flowers, ancient rocks. This half-day of exploring and meditating on wonders with very short hikes and visits to overlooks and vistas will have you gasping in awe. We'll visit waterfalls and overlooks, selected by our guides to include both the most iconic, like the unmissable Latourell Falls, a stunning plunge-style falls that is one of the most iconic in Oregon, and the special. Depending on weather conditions, this could include a few small hidden waterfalls and another spectacular plunge-style falls with columnar basalt. We'll also tell you stories, not just of the geology and botany and the oft-repeated tales of pioneers and road-builders, but also the old stories we've learned, of gods and animal spirits and the Beaver princess tragically turned into a waterfall.

Stop At: Multnomah Falls
50000 Historic Columbia River Hwy, Bridal Veil, Oregon
Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and one of the most impressive, and most photographed, waterfalls in the U.S. If you're chasing waterfalls: this is the one many are seeking to catch.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Latourell Falls
Guy W. Talbot State Park., , Corbett, Oregon
Latourell is the most impressive of the plunge-style waterfalls, tumbling over layers of 15 million-year-old columnar and entablature basalt frosted with lichens and, according to local legend, carries the spirit of a Beaver princess who led a tragic life. At Latourell, you'll have the opportunity for a longer hike, up to 2 miles or 3 km. Breathe deep: you'll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

**Vista House is currently open limited hours! If it is closed, we will stop to take photos of this architectural icon and see the view.** At the most beautiful rest stop in Oregon, we'll stop, take a walk to the upper deck (weather permitting), learn about the architectural history, and enjoy what could be the most expensive public bathroom in the Pacific Northwest. We'll also remember the Wasco people, who found this one of their holy places.

Our shop is 833 SE Main Street #124, in the four story silver and red building. If you're having trouble finding us, walk north on SE 9th Avenue from Main Street and look to your left! If you're looking for parking, you can find limited street parking and paid lots at 7th and Madison and 10th and Madison Streets
You might see bicycles and helmets -- that's us! We have bike tours leaving from the same location.
We operate rain or shine. We suggest layers appropriate for the day's high and low temperatures, as well as shoes with tread. In the winter and spring, expect a little muddy ground and puddles; hiking shoes or boots might be more comfortable. Except in July, August, and September, rain is quite common, so a rain jacket can be a great idea.
If we only have just one person booked in total for this tour, we will ask to reschedule, or you can pay for two tickets. We require two people in total for the tour to operate. We will contact you several hours before the tour if this is the case.
