| Not far from Portland lie two of the Pacific Northwest’s most scenic areas, the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood. A spectacular drive along the Columbia River Highway Scenic Byway takes us across the “Bridge of the Gods” over to Washington State where we pass through the Hood River Valley, a mecca of cherry, peach, pear and apple groves on our way to the Mount Hood Area and the elegant Skamania Lodge. The Columbia River Gorge is a wonderland of waterfalls and cascades. Within the gorge are over thirty waterfalls, and we visit some of the best; Latourell, Ponytrail, Elowah, Bridal Veil and the famous Multnomah Falls with it’s 620’ drop. In the afternoon, a canyon walk leads us to Wahclella Falls. Snow-capped Mount Hood at 11,240’ is Oregon’s highest peak and the centerpiece of our next few days We will hike along beautiful Eagle Creek, and up to Lost Lake and fine views of Mount Hood. Our last two nights are spent at The Resort at the Mountain. Nearby trails lead through magnificent stands of old growth timber, up to high alpine lakes and to the top of Tom, Dick and Harry Mountain with its views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. St Helens and The Sisters in central Oregon. Our final hike is along the quiet shores of the lower Salmon River through old growth forest. Download Itinerary
