Returns to original departure point
Get your feet wet on this introductory trip to the magnificent Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood. Meet your guide and group at Director Park and depart downtown Portland for the charming town of Troutdale, where you'll leave the beaten path for the scenic Historic Columbia Highway. Learn about the cultural history of the area from your guide, as you pass along the banks of the Sandy River. Spy orchards, blueberry fields, and wildlife on your way to Vista House at Crown Point. Snap some dazzling panoramic shots of the Gorge and visit the museum.

Discover two of the Gorge’s most striking waterfalls, Latourell Falls and Multnomah Falls. Visit the classic Multnomah Falls Historic Lodge and stretch your legs with a short hike to the falls’ prime viewpoint, Benson Bridge.

Head to Hood River, a picturesque valley town renowned as a prime destination for wind sports. Watch kiteboarders and windsurfers skate across the water as you enjoy free time for lunch, followed by a scenic drive that culminates at Timberline Lodge, located at a whopping height of 6,000 feet on the crest of Mount Hood. Spend some free time on a guided tour of the lodge, famous as the setting for the classic film The Shining before returning to Portland at the end of your adventure.

One of the most enjoyable and educational tours we have taken. Beautiful falls and an unfortunate clouded view of Mount Hood, and a stop at Timberline Lodge. Will, our guide, was the best. He was always willing to answer questions and take photos. He possesses a wealth of knowledge of Portland and the whole state of Oregon. If you visit Oregon, don't miss this outing.

Zeke, our guide, is very knowledgeable, friendly and interested in ensuring that his guests have a terrific time. He has a lively and engaging personality, and talked about Portland, its history and the sites we were going to see in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. We had plenty of time for photos and walking around at each stop. The trip was well-planned and the bus was clean and comfortable. Great job, Zeke, and thanks to Wildwood Tours!

We did the all day tour. It was excellent!! Our tour guide, Deana, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She even assisted with taking photos if requested. I would take a tour with her again. The tour had a good pace of driving and stopping for photos, etc. Timing seemed just about right. We would highly recommend this tour. It was certainly one of the highlights of our two week trip in Oregon and Washington!!
