Columbia River Gorge
Millions of years ago, during the formation of the Cascade Mountain Range, lava and other pyroclastic matter flowed west from what would be the Cascades all the way to the Pacific Ocean, creating a thick shell of basalt rock that covered Western Oregon. Then, during the Pleistocene Ice Age, roughly 15,000 years ago, water from the Lake Missoula Flood carved out the Columbia River Gorge as hundreds of cubic miles of water, ice, rock and mud rushed from present-day Montana to the Pacific Ocean. Explore the beauty of the canyon walls and rock formations, breathtaking waterfalls and awe-inspiring visas that make the Columbia River National Scenic Area one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Our enthusiastic guides will introduce you to the most amazing places in the Gorge, while providing a comprehensive narrative of this spectacular landscape and its transformative history.
Vista House
Perched atop one of the most panoramic overlooks in the Columbia River Gorge, Vista House provides an unrivaled, majestic view of the Gorge. Often referred to as “The Crown Jewel of the Columbia River Gorge,” Vista House was built between 1916 and 1918 as a memorial to Oregon pioneers, a scenic viewpoint, and a comfort station for those traveling on the newly constructed Historic Columbia River Highway. Built with expertly carved sandstone and stunning marble, then finished with bronze lining and amber-green opalescent art glass windows, Vista House and the view it offers are sure to amaze and inspire you.

Gunnar was an amazing tour guide! Very informative, and his knowledge of the area took the tour to another level. He made sure we had enough time to do everything we wanted. The tour itself was perfect for a half day.

John, our guide, was very informative. Answered all our questions. Loved the waterfalls. John had a wonderful positive attitude. We recommend the private tour as it allows a more personal experience. You can choose how much walking you do at each stop. You still see amazing views whether you walk closer to the falls or stay back.

This was a perfect tour for us. It was the right length of time. We saw beautiful scenery and Rob was outstanding. He shared so much information about what we were seeing as well as Oregon history and local information for the tourists on the trip. Highly recommend.

It was ok. Little rushed. First time to tour, was 5 minutes late at our first stop and was reprimanded like I was a 10 year old. Set a negative vibe with me for the rest of tour, next time emphasize the importance of being on time and not just say be back by a certain time. We didn’t know you had another tour and pressed for time.

Fabulous four hour trip enjoying waterfalls and fall foliage. Driver Garrett was fantastic. Super helpful and very personable. Learned so much about the Gorge area. I went solo and had such a nice group to visit with all afternoon.
