Columbia Gorge & Waterfalls Motorcoach Tour - May 22On the Columbia Gorge step-on excursion you will experience first-hand the beauty and grandeur of the Columbia River Gorge. One of America's most majestic waterways, our resident experts will be your guide to the rich history and breathtaking natural beauty of this area as we retrace a portion of Lewis and Clark's epic journey through the Columbia River Gorge atop Oregon's Historic Scenic Highway. We will visit the Vista House, perhaps the most beautiful travelers' rest station ever built, before descending down into the gorge to visit the largest and most picturesque of the seventy-seven waterfalls lining the Oregon side of the gorge, Multnomah Falls. These falls are truly one of the country's natural treasures, as is the adjacent Multnomah Falls Lodge. We then begin our return to Portland along the bottom of the gorge, providing not only a different, but equally spectacular, perspective on the natural splendor of the area, but also provides an opportunity to visit Bonneville Dam, one of the gorge's man-made wonders. There we will have the opportunity to tour the dam, see the massive locks that make the Columbia such an important shipping route, learn about Oregon's efforts to save the endangered salmon by visiting the fish ladder. Cost: $68* and includes stop for guests to purchase lunch (*gratuity is included) |
