Explore the Columbia River Gorge, one of the 7 wonders of Oregon, with a full day of hiking, sightseeing, and exploring. Hike into lush green forests, past thundering waterfalls, and through the canyon's charming wildflowers while learning about the region's unique history, geology, and nature.

Sip freshly brewed coffee and munch on a morning snack as you venture just 30 minutes outside of Portland. Discover the mighty Columbia River, nestled in the gorge, and marvel at the breathtaking sight. Embark on a modest 1- to 2-mile (1.5- to 3-km) hike past awe-inspiring waterfalls and breathtaking outlooks. Your expert guide determines the day's route depending on the weather conditions.

Along the way, learn fascinating facts about the region's unique geology, rich history, and vibrant wildlife. Learn how to spot various wildflower species and get an introduction to the diverse plant life along the river. Enjoy a vegetarian boxed lunch and marvel at the Columbia Gorge's spectacular beauty. Depending on the season, the hike includes either a route through the wildflower areas or to an observation area where you witness the upstream migration of salmon.
