During the birth of the Cascade Mountain Range millions of years ago, volcanic material flowed westward to the Pacific Ocean, forming a thick basalt shell across West Oregon. Subsequently, in the Pleistocene Ice Age approximately 15,000 years ago, the Lake Missoula Flood sculpted the Columbia River Gorge, as copious amounts of water, ice, rock, and mud surged from today’s Montana to the Pacific Ocean. Marvel at the canyon walls and rock formations, stunning waterfalls, and remarkable views that distinguish the Columbia River National Scenic Area as one of Oregon’s Seven Wonders. Our passionate guides will take you to the Gorge’s most incredible spots, while delivering an extensive narration of this awe-striking landscape and its historical evolution.
