A great experience
This day trip was a great way to experience a lot of the area’s highlights in a small amount of time. The guide, John, did a wonderful job of explaining what we were seeing. We were on and off the van numerous times to gaze out at overlooks of the Columbia River, and for me, the highlights were Multnomah Falls and Timberline Lodge - with snow! I wish we had more time in Hood River though.

A fabulous tour lead by a great guide. Gunner picked us up right on time, van was clean and stocked with water. Made our way over to the falls learning a lot along the way. We stopped several times and always had ample time to walk around and explore. The falls were gorgeous.

Amazing
This tour was one of the best I've ever been on. The guide was so informative and friendly. I honestly thought seeing waterfalls would be boring but I changed my mind real fast on this tour. It was like seeing one of best wonders of the world. The guide got us so close to each waterfall. It was such a fun day
