Highlights
The 85-mile (137-km) long Columbia Gorge NSA would be a national park if it weren't a critical transportation corridor. It features waterfalls, mountains, monoliths, terraces, resort towns, vineyards, orchards, and The River, harboring a plethora of fish and birds, and unique plants and invertebrates. There is said to be over 4000 waterfalls; many of which you have to hike to see. On this tour you'll hike the western, rainforested, southern side of the Gorge, dubbed "waterfall alley" where we'll have you getting misted by waterfalls, peering over cliffs, and learning stories of the area only the locals know.

About Portland
Portland is Oregon's largest city, a green Pacific Northwest city of bridges, rose gardens, food carts, craft beer and views of Mount Hood.
Portland sits where the Willamette River meets the Columbia, with the snow-covered cone of Mount Hood visible to the east on clear days. It is called the City of Roses, and the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park, above the city, has thousands of rose bushes. Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the United States, covers the hills west of downtown, and the Japanese Garden nearby is a quiet retreat.
Top-ranked sights in Portland: Multnomah Falls, Latourell Falls, Columbia River Gorge.
