The 85-mile (137-km) long Columbia Gorge NSA would be a national park if it weren't a critical transportation corridor. It features waterfalls, mountains, monoliths, terraces, resort towns, vineyards, orchards, and The River, harboring a plethora of fish and birds, and unique plants and invertebrates. There is said to be over 4000 waterfalls; many of which you have to hike to see. On this tour you'll hike the western, rainforested, southern side of the Gorge, dubbed "waterfall alley" where we'll have you getting misted by waterfalls, peering over cliffs, and learning stories of the area only the locals know.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this hiking tour?

A: The tour is generally suitable for kids aged 8 and up, but it’s best to check with Terran Travels if you have younger ones in mind. They’re pretty flexible and accommodating. Just make sure they’re comfortable with some hiking and can handle a few hours outdoors!

Q: Is there a chance of rescheduling due to weather conditions?

A: Yes, they do have a weather policy! If conditions are unsafe, they’ll reschedule your tour for a later date. Just make sure to keep an eye on the forecast, especially since the Gorge can be unpredictable. You can always reach out to them for updates before your trip!

Q: What should I wear for the hiking tour?

A: Dress in layers! The Gorge can be cool and windy, but it can heat up when you’re hiking. Comfortable hiking shoes are a must, and maybe bring a rain jacket just in case. And don’t forget sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy!

Just did the Columbia River Gorge hike - wow!

I just got back from the Explore Columbia River Gorge Half-Day Small-Group Hiking Tour and it was incredible! We saw so many waterfalls, including Bridal Veil Falls, and the guide shared amazing stories about the area. The snacks they provided were a nice touch too! It’s a bit of a workout, but totally worth it. Thinking of gifting this to my sister for her birthday!

Considering this hike as a gift, any thoughts?

I’m thinking about getting the Explore Columbia River Gorge tour for my friend who loves the outdoors. She’s in decent shape, but I don’t know how strenuous the hike really is. Like, are we talking a casual stroll or more of a climb? Also, does it get crowded on weekends?
