Millions of years ago, during the formation of the Cascade Mountain Range, lava and other pyroclastic matter flowed west from what would be the Cascades all the way to the Pacific Ocean, creating a thick shell of basalt rock that covered Western Oregon. Then, during the Pleistocene Ice Age, roughly 15,000 years ago, water from the Lake Missoula Flood carved out the Columbia River Gorge as hundreds of cubic miles of water, ice, rock and mud rushed from present-day Montana to the Pacific Ocean. Explore the beauty of the canyon walls and rock formations, breathtaking waterfalls and awe-inspiring visas that make the Columbia River National Scenic Area one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Our enthusiastic guides will introduce you to the most amazing places in the Gorge, while providing a comprehensive narrative of this spectacular landscape and its transformative history.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? I'm thinking of gifting it to my 10-year-old niece.

A: There's no strict age limit for the tour! Kids can definitely join, but keep in mind that some parts of the hike might be a bit challenging for younger kids. Just make sure she’s comfortable with some walking and enjoys nature. Totally worth it for the stunning views!

Q: How does the transport work? Do they pick you up from any hotel in downtown Portland?

A: Yes, they pick you up from most hotels in downtown Portland! Just make sure to mention your hotel when you book. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van is super comfy, and the guides really make the ride enjoyable with stories about the area.

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Any tips for hiking shoes?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes—hiking boots or good sneakers work best since there can be some uneven terrain. Layers are a good idea too, as it can be chilly in the morning but warms up later. Don't forget a light rain jacket just in case; Oregon weather can be unpredictable!

Just did the Multnomah Falls tour, and wow!

I just got back from the Morning Multnomah Falls and Gorge Waterfalls Tour, and it was absolutely breathtaking! The drive from downtown Portland was smooth, and our guide, Mark, was really informative about the area’s history. Seeing the falls up close was a highlight of my trip. Bring your camera! You won't want to miss the views. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves nature!

Thinking of gifting the Multnomah Falls tour—thoughts?

I’m looking to surprise my partner with an outdoor adventure gift, and I heard great things about the Multnomah Falls tour. It sounds perfect, but I'm a bit worried about the weather. How often do they cancel tours? Would love to hear from anyone who's been on it recently!
