About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Oregon

After we fit you for bikes, we'll head out in one of our Mercedes Sprinters. The bike ride and hike both take place in the Columbia River Gorge, in the waterfall-laden western end of an 80-mile (130-km) canyon.

Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: Portland Women's Forum | State Scenic Viewpoint, 39210 Historic Columbia River Hwy, Corbett, OR 97019, USA

View an expansive vista of the Columbia River Gorge, take photos, and hear the story of who was here before us. We'll also tell you how the waterfalls were created before getting on your bikes and beginning to ride.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Vista House, 40700 E Historic Columbia River Hwy, Corbett, OR 97019-9725

At the most beautiful rest stop in Oregon, we'll stop, take a walk to the upper deck (weather permitting), learn about the architectural history, and enjoy what could be the most expensive public bathroom in the Pacific Northwest. We'll also remember the Wasco people, who found this one of their holy places.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Latourell Falls, Guy W. Talbot State Park., Corbett, OR

Get off your bike and start the true immersion in the forest, what the Japanese call Shinrin Yoku. We'll walk around the creek containing stunning plunge-style waterfalls, which tumbles over layers of 15 million-year-old columnar and entablature basalt frosted with lichens and, according to local legend, carries the spirit of a Beaver princess who led a tragic life. We'll send you on the locals-favorite loop hike, a 2.1-mile trek that climbs up above the basalt face of the lower falls and heads back up the creek to the hidden waterfall above. It seems like a secret (but we'll let you in on it!). Breathe deep: you'll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Bridal Veil Falls State Park, Columbia River Scenic Highwy, Milepost 28, Corbett, OR 97019

We'll ride our bikes a little more, 2-4 miles (3-6 km) more before seeing one of the most beautiful and little-visited viewpoints in the Gorge. In the spring it is a carpet of camas, a native food.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Multnomah Falls, Interstate 84, Troutdale, OR 97014

Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and one of the most impressive, and most photographed, waterfalls in the U.S. If you're chasing waterfalls: this is the one many are seeking to catch. We'll stop at the falls for photos and the 1/4 mile / 1/2 km hike to the iconic Benson Bridge.

Duration: 20 minutes
