The 80 miles of the Columbia River Gorge’s steep rocky sides offer some of the most spectacular scenery in the world: pounding waterfalls, eagles, century-old trees, ferns, flowers, ancient rocks. This half-day of exploring and meditating on wonders with very short hikes and visits to overlooks and vistas will have you gasping in awe. We'll visit waterfalls and overlooks, selected by our guides to include both the most iconic, like the unmissable Latourell Falls, a stunning plunge-style falls that is one of the most iconic in Oregon, and the special. Depending on weather conditions, this could include a few small hidden waterfalls and another spectacular plunge-style falls with columnar basalt. We operate rain or shine! We'll also tell you stories, not just of the geology and botany and the oft-repeated tales of pioneers and road-builders, but also the old stories we've learned, of gods and animal spirits and the Beaver princess tragically turned into a waterfall.

Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What age range is recommended?

A: Yes, this tour is generally suitable for kids! It’s designed to be accessible with short hikes and beautiful views. Most kids aged 6 and up will enjoy it, but it really depends on their interest in nature and hiking. Just keep an eye on them near the waterfalls since some spots can be steep.

Q: What should we wear for the hike? Are there any specific recommendations?

A: Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly in the gorge. I’d recommend moisture-wicking clothes, a light jacket, and sturdy hiking shoes. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen too, even if it’s cloudy!

A: This tour operates rain or shine, so they'll go out unless it's dangerous. If you need to reschedule, contact them directly; they’re usually pretty flexible. Just check the cancellation policy when booking.

Considering the Multnomah Falls hike, any tips?

I’m thinking of booking the half-day hiking tour to Multnomah Falls for my partner's birthday. We both love nature, but I'm a little worried about the short hikes. Are they really easy? Also, what's the best time of year to go? Any tips on parking or how to make it special?

Just did the Multnomah Falls tour, and wow!

I just came back from the Multnomah Falls and Columbia River Gorge tour, and OMG, it was stunning! The guides were super knowledgeable and the views were out of this world! Latourell Falls is a must-see. Totally worth the price! I want to go again in fall to see the leaves change.
