Commanding the title of Oregon’s loftiest peak and the fourth tallest in the Cascades is Mt. Hood. The majestic mountain is home to waterfalls, glaciers, and the revered Timberline Lodge, a piece of local craftsmanship conceived during the Great Depression, boasting America’s longest skiing season. Nestled to the north of Mt. Hood is the verdant Hood River Valley. Experience the charm of this region with a tour to the Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, fruit markets in the Hood River Valley, the city center of Hood River (a chance for lunch and/or drinks), and awe-inspiring stops in the eastern and western reaches of the Columbia River Gorge (including Multnomah Falls). Your knowledgeable guide, with an academic background in ecology and natural resources, will enlighten you about the natural and cultural heritage of the region, while you traverse the Mt. Hood and Historic Columbia River Highway Scenic Byways. Limited to a maximum group size of 11. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.
