Nel pomeriggio escursione di mezza giornata alle cascate Multnomah e Columbia River Gorge da Portland
Visita la bellissima gola Columbia River Gorge! L'avventura si svolgerà lungo l'autostrada Historic Columbia River National Scenic Byway, dove le località dove è possibile fermarsi includono: Portland Women's Forum, Crown Point Vista House, le cascate Latourell, le cascate Multnomah, Shepperd's Dell e il vivaio di pesci di Bonneville.
Il tour inizia con la vista al Portland Women's Forum. Questo sito è assolutamente mozzafiato ed è una delle località migliori per immergersi nel panorama di uno dei più bei luoghi della terra: la magnifica e impressionante gola del fiume Columbia.
Ci fermeremo poi al Crown Visit Point House per dominare completamente la regione. Il Crown Point Visit House, il punto panoramico più conosciuto della Historic Columbia River Highway, offre una vista panoramica del fiume Columbia. Il Crown Point Vista House è stato costruito nel 1916 e completamente ristrutturato nel 2005.
La tappa successiva è Latourell. Questa cascata fa un salto di 7,5 m su un'enorme parete di basalto colonnare, una delle migliori formazioni rocciose del nord-ovest pacifico, prima di scendere rapidamente verso il Columbia. Questa cascata è generalmente riconosciuta per la grande macchia giallo brillante di licheni che adornano la roccia sulla destra delle cascate, e questa caratteristica ha portato molti famosi fotografi a questa affascinante località.
Altre cascate presso cui è possibile fermarsi nel tragitto lungo la Historic Columbia River Highway includono:
Bridal Veil Falls: le belle cascate Bridal Veil Falls sono eleganti e aggraziate e possono essere pienamente apprezzate da una piattaforma di osservazione ricostruita nel 1996. Il torrente scorre dalla cima della vicina Larch Mountain, scende oltre la scogliera e fluisce nel possente fiume Columbia.
Successivamente andremo verso le cascate Multnomah. In base alle leggende dei nativi americani, le cascate Multnomah furono create per conquistare il cuore di una giovane principessa che voleva un luogo nascosto per fare il bagno. Le cascate Multnomah sono il luogo ricreativo più visitato del Nord-ovest pacifico, con oltre 2 milioni di persone all'anno che si fermano ad ammirare il panorama! Questo è anche uno dei posti migliori nella Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area per studiare la geologia esposta dalle inondazioni.
Può esserci anche una sosta presso il vivaio di pesci di Bonneville. Il vivaio di Bonneville è il più grande tra i 33 dell'Oregon. Il vivaio ittico cresce 8 milioni di salmoni reali, 1,2 milioni di salmoni argentati, 200.000 trote iridee estive e 60.000 trote invernali. Potrai esplorare lo Historic Egg Incubation Building, visitare Herman lo storione e dar da mangiare ai pesci!

I loved this tour. Aaron was a great guide and I enjoyed sitting in the front of the van with him, chatting about the waterfalls, Portland, and the state Oregon in general. He's a very cheerful, engaging, and knowledgeable guide. I learned a lot.
If I could I would give it 6 stars! It was more than what we expected. The tour guide Steve was fabulous. He was so polite, kind and gave us lots of great information. We had no idea we were going to see so many beautiful waterfalls. The trip was honestly a perfect way to spend your afternoon if you are a visitor. You get to see so much. The only suggestions I have is to leave more time for Multnomah falls. Thank you Viator and Steve!!
We were able to see more attractions in our tour than we could possibly have see oreven found in the time spent with your tour. Kudos to our excellent host
This was an amazing trip mostly because we got an amazing guide(Crystal).I would highly recommend the Columbia River Gorge and Multinomah Falls Trip.If you can,please take the Portland City tour in the morning from the same tour operator(Hub World) since they will put you on with same guide and coach for the entire day which really helps.As a note:Call them to confirm your pickup location.
Loved this tour. Beautiful scenery. Our guide Johnny was very friendly, informative and professional.
This tour is definitely worth it! Our tour guide shared lots of interesting facts about the areas we visited and gave us some great tips on other local attractions/restaurants to check out while we're in town. The falls we visited were breath taking! Absolutely must see if visiting Oregon.
Guide was knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. Met some great people on this tour. Attractions were beyond expectations. Referred this tour to all of my teacher friends.
My wife, daughter (college aged), and I really enjoyed our trip. Our guide, Denon, was excellent, attentive, knowledgeable. The tour operator picks up riders at hotels but we were staying at an Airbnb. The operator's customer service rep. took the time to find the nearest hotel to our Airbnb and sent a follow-up email with the address, which was less than a quarter mile from our place. We had perfect weather. The views were excellent.
Crystal was our tour guide and she was fantastic - very friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We went to many beautiful places and had enough time to walk around and take lots of pictures. I highly recommend this tour.
I really enjoy my experience, my wife and I had only a couple of days to visit Portland and this provided a good opportunity to do experience some of the Portland has to offer. The guide was extremely nice, helpful and informative.
Our family half-day tour was wonderful and informative. Our family had limited time in Portland. This tour was perfect for our schedule. Excellent guide-knowledgeable, personable.
I had a great time! The tour guide is a great conversationalist and a safe driver. We visited several falls and the views are breathtaking. I just wish there was more time to stay at all of the sights. The times alloted went too fast. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
Crystal was a terrific guide. She picked us up promptly and showed us several spectacular waterfalls. She knew a back way in to Bridal Veil Falls that avoided a hike that would have taken more time.
Evan, our tour guide was amazing! The falls were beautiful and enjoyed the short hikes out. Evan’s stories were interesting and entertaining!
We had a great time with Tom guiding us along the way, stopping at three beautiful waterfalls and another scenic overlook. Tom was extremely helpful, informative, and knowledgeable. Definitely the highlight of our trip to Portland!
Let me start by saying the tour of the Columbia River Gorge and the Mulknomah and Latourell Falls was great. A wonderful scenic experience, and Hub World Travel the tour operator delivered as described. The reason for the 2 stars is with the tour guide alone. We were on a 20 seat bus, and could not hear most of her commentary, even when requested to speak up. She left the Vista point over the Columbia River Gorge 5 minutes earlier that the stated depature time, leaving 3 tour participants behind. When we literally yelled at her that there were people missing as we left the parking lot, she didn't get off the bus or open the door to call for them. Fortunately, all three made their way back to the bus. Finally, at the end of the tour, confusion was the theme upon returning to Portland. She left about 1/2 of the people off, not where they had boarded, and told them a shutlle bus would take them back to their hotels. The tour bus, with her on it, left the folks on the street, and the shuttle bus drove past without stopping. Again, I enjoyed the tour, and the waterfalls. Had it not been for our tour guide, it would have been a five star review.
Although some areas were off-limits because of last year's fires, we saw some amazing waterfalls and had a lot of fun. I do wish I'd worn proper hiking boots instead of tennis shoes, though; a couple of the trails had loose dirt and gravel.
We booked half day waterfall tour . Our guide Eddy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable , took time to explain the history and why what exists. Highly recommend this tour for others worth the money.
