• Columbia River Gorge - Millions of years ago, during the formation of the Cascade Mountain Range, lava and other pyroclastic materials flowed westward from what would become the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean, forming a thick layer of basalt rock that covered Western Oregon. During the Pleistocene Ice Age, approximately 15,000 years ago, the Lake Missoula Flood carved out the Columbia River Gorge as hundreds of cubic miles of water, ice, rock, and mud surged from present-day Montana to the Pacific Ocean. Discover the stunning canyon walls, rock formations, breathtaking waterfalls, and awe-inspiring vistas that make the Columbia River National Scenic Area one of Oregon’s Seven Wonders. Our enthusiastic guides will introduce you to the most remarkable spots in the Gorge, while providing a comprehensive narrative of this spectacular landscape and its transformative history.
• Vista House - Situated atop one of the most panoramic overlooks in the Columbia River Gorge, Vista House offers an unparalleled, majestic view of the Gorge. Often called “The Crown Jewel of the Columbia River Gorge,” Vista House was constructed between 1916 and 1918 as a memorial to Oregon pioneers, a scenic viewpoint, and a comfort station for travelers on the newly built Historic Columbia River Highway. Crafted with expertly carved sandstone and stunning marble, and finished with bronze lining and amber-green opalescent art glass windows, Vista House and its view are sure to amaze and inspire.
• Latourell Falls - At Latourell Falls, visitors can walk down the trail to the waterfall (approximately 1/4 mile) and get up close to the cascade. This dazzling waterfall plunges 249 feet (76 m) over a massive wall of basalt and then rushes through the forest into the Columbia River. The falling water of Latourell is framed by some of the most perfect columnar basalt formations in the Pacific Northwest, adorned with a large fluorescent patch of yellow lichen and surrounded by brilliant green flora. Visitors can venture down to the punch-bowl pool below the falls, where they’ll hear the tremendous rush of water and feel the cool mist it creates. It’s easy to see why this special place is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Oregon.
• Multnomah Falls - Visitors will have time to walk to Benson Bridge, take photographs, and explore the area around Multnomah Falls. Fed by underground streams originating miles above on Larch Mountain, this ancient 620-foot (189 m) waterfall is divided into two sections; the upper falls plummets an impressive 542 feet into a pool and then drops 69 feet to form a creek that flows into the Columbia River. Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the United States and the highest in Oregon, attracting over 2.5 million visitors annually from around the world. At the base of the waterfall sits the Historic Multnomah Falls Lodge, a full-service day lodge complete with a restaurant, gift shop, snack and espresso bar, and interpretative center. Although much of the area surrounding Multnomah Falls was recently damaged by fire, visitors can still visit the lodge and experience the natural beauty of the waterfall.
• Horsetail Falls - Columbia River Gorge - If time permits, a stop at this waterfall (which truly resembles a horse’s tail) will allow visitors to walk up to it for photographs and enjoy the refreshing spray on a hot summer day. Named for its distinctive shape, Horsetail Falls plunges 176 feet within view of the Historic Columbia River Highway’s “Waterfall Corridor.”
