Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls Tour Overview
Get ready to travel back in time to the formation of the Cascade Mountain Range, where rivers of molten lava and pyroclastic matter flowed down to the Pacific Ocean, creating a tough shell of basalt rock that hugged Western Oregon. Fast forward to the Pleistocene Ice Age, where the Lake Missoula Flood roared through the Columbia River Gorge about 15,000 years ago, carving out a magnificent landscape of rock formations, waterfalls, and vistas that still leave us in awe today!
Join our passionate guides on a journey along the Historic Columbia River National Scenic Byway, where we'll stop to admire the views at Portland Women's Forum, Crown Point Vista House, Latourell Falls, Multnomah Falls, and Horsetail Falls. Everywhere you look is a feast for the eyes and the imagination.
