Mt Hood Day Trip from Portland to Multnomah Falls and Hood River

Get ready for a day of nature-filled adventure as you're whisked away from your downtown Portland hotel to explore Oregon's most famous natural wonders! 

Gaze in awe as we drive through the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and brace yourself for a taste of fantastic scenery First up is Multnomah Falls, the second tallest waterfall in the USA! The most visited waterfall in Oregon, iconic Multnomah Falls is fed by Larch Mountain's underground springs and will leave you breathless. Moving eastward, we'll stop in the charming town of Hood River, located at the confluence of the mighty Columbia and Hood rivers. Your guide will fill you in on the town's rich cultural and environmental history, and introduce you to the kite-boarders and windsurfers that call this area home. After arriving at the Historic Hood River old town, you'll have free time for lunch and exploring the shops and wine-tasting rooms (own expense and time permitting). 

Your journey continues with stops at Rowena Crest (seasonally), a farm stand (seasonally), and Timberline Lodge, nestled at a staggering elevation of 11,249 feet (3,429 meters) on Mt Hood, Oregon's tallest peak (weather permitting). Take a tour of the lodge or enjoy a short walk around the stunning mountain scenery.  If weather or road conditions throw us a curveball, no worries! Our savvy guides will switch up the route to ensure you get the best Mt. Hood Loop tour experience.

The trip concludes with a relaxing drive back to Portland, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel.
