The Columbia River Gorge’s imposing cliffs that stretch for 80 miles, provide some of the globe’s most breathtaking landscapes with its cascading waterfalls, majestic eagles, centuries-old trees, various ferns and flowers, and ancient stones. Your half-day journey of exploration and contemplation filled with brief hikes and stopovers at panoramas and viewpoints, will leave you utterly astonished.

Our journey includes visits to waterfalls and panoramic spots, handpicked by our guides to showcase both Oregon’s famous landmarks like the Latourell Falls, a striking plunge waterfall, and the extraordinary. Weather permitting, we might encounter hidden waterfalls and another magnificent plunge waterfall ornamented by columnar basalt.

Great afternoon tour of a very beautiful part of Oregon - The trip was great, Sarah our guide was great, knowledgeable & interesting. I wish other people who join tours can be more respectful & courteous. A group talked loudly as Sarah tried to explain the areas we were passing through. We could hardly hear what the guide was saying !
