Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? I'm thinking of gifting it to my teenage daughter.

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour, so it should be suitable for teenagers! It’s great for anyone who enjoys nature and history. Just keep in mind that some parts involve moderate walking, especially at the waterfalls. If your daughter’s up for a bit of hiking, she’ll have a blast!

Q: What should I wear for the Columbia Gorge part? Is it super muddy?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes with good grip! The trails can be a bit muddy, especially after rain. I'd recommend layers too, since it can get chilly near the falls. Don't forget a light jacket or poncho just in case of sprinkles!

Q: How does rescheduling work if the weather's bad?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, you can reschedule! Just contact the tour provider, and they'll help you find another date. They really prioritize safety, so if they think the conditions are iffy, they'll let you know. It’s super flexible, so no worries there!
