Stop at various points to take in stunning vistas and admire tumbling waterfalls before arriving at the scenic Crown Point lookout for panoramic views of the gorge.

Set out at a mild to moderate pace and get an up-close view of the millions of years of erosion evident on the impressive Columbia River Gorge. Your tour guide chooses your hiking route based on the weather conditions and your experience level, and always ends the journey at a thundering waterfall or magnificent viewpoint. Hikes may include walking through the gorge's diverse wildflowers, viewing wild salmon as they migrate upstream, or sightseeing local wildlife amidst the gorgeous fall foliage.

Before returning to Portland, enjoy a locally sourced vegetarian picnic lunch with the charming Columbia River Gorge as backdrop.
