If you're visiting Mt. Hood in the winter, devote your day to skiing or snowboarding, with a break for lunch at Timberline Lodge or an evening cosmic inner-tubing session for good measure. Summer visitors can spend a morning hiking and an afternoon cooling off in Frog Lake or Timothy Lake.

Q: Are there restrooms at Mt. Hood?

Viator Exclusive: Wyeast Adventure Cycling in Portland

Biking on the roads and highways around the mountain we call Wy'East -- after the Indigenous name -- has been described as one of the most beautiful rides in the world. From stunning vistas to a profusion of summer wildflowers to towering forests and lakes glinting through the trees. Small waterfalls tumble down the sides of the andesite lava walls of the mountain; valleys with countless mountains rolling away in the distance are all around. We offer routes at 23, 40 and 60 miles depending on your interests and the group, with some significant elevation change but more downhill than up. E-bikes are an option. Cycling Wy'East is an exercise in approachable adventure; with 23-60 miles (40-100 km) of riding from near the timberline down into the nearly sea level town of Hood River. Our adventure is adjustable for your experience level but this is the most challenging of our many bike tours and anyone's day tours offered from Portland. Lunch stop, on your own, is part of the day.

Great to see Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge from this perspective. The pilot was great and very informative. Only negative was I was searching helicopter tours and on the website (see attached photo) it also appears to be by a helicopter. In front of tour length it has a picture of a helicopter.

Marcus was an expert on everything Portland and arrived right on time. The first winery we visited was incredible—we honestly didn’t even want to leave. It was so warm and inviting, especially with the hot cider, and the pizza was excellent. Overall, the trip was outstanding, and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone planning a special getaway

Great Tour Despite the Rainy Weather due to Jake the Tour Guide

Jake, the Tour Guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and gave the history of the key areas. He was very personable and patient with our group. The van was clean and the driving was smooth even with the rain. The waterfalls were breathtaking and amazing! It was nice of Jake to take pictures of us to add to our everlasting memories. It was unfortunate that we could not see Mt. Hood due to the weather but it was a nice tour and worth taking!😊
