Breathtaking Gorge Waterfalls: Exclusive Half-Day Hike!
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.

The tour guide was amazing, it wouldn’t have been such a great experience without her, great views, easy hiking trails, and great conversations

Ana was the best, very informative and friendly. We went to see multiple waterfalls and great views and she explained the history of Oregon during the trip.

I will start by saying day looked nasty. Tour operator communicated early I was only one and we may not go. We ended up getting one more from a cancelled tour and it was on. Sarah was our guide and was awesome!! Knowledgeable on the geography and formation. This tour will take you to one of the most beautiful tracks of land in the US. Well worth it So glad I did this. Day turned out to be fine BTW.

Ana was the perfect guide - enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The waterfalls were peak after the rainfall the day before the tour.

The hikes were easy and each stop was just the right amount of time to hang out and take in the view. Carrie was my guide and she was phenomenal and very informative.

My husband and I had a wonderful time for this tour. The hike was short and manageable for elders like us. The Falls and the sceneries along the hike were nice. Our tour guide, Carrie was great. She’s friendly and always engaged the group throughout the tour. Excellent service!

Our shop is 833 SE Main Street #124, in the four story silver and red building. If you're having trouble finding us, walk north on SE 9th Avenue from Main Street and look to your left! If you're looking for parking, you can find limited street parking and paid lots at 7th and Madison and 10th and Madison Streets You might see bicycles and helmets -- that's us! We have bike tours leaving from the same location. We operate rain or shine. We suggest layers appropriate for the day's high and low temperatures, as well as shoes with tread. In the winter and spring, expect a little muddy ground and puddles; hiking shoes or boots might be more comfortable. Except in July, August, and September, rain is quite common, so a rain jacket can be a great idea. If we only have just one person booked in total for this tour, we will ask to reschedule, or you can pay for two tickets. We require two people in total for the tour to operate. We will contact you several hours before the tour if this is the case.24 hours before travel date - 100% refund
