Columbia River Gorge Waterfall Tour: Vista House, Multnomah Falls and Ice-Age Cliffs

Just thirty minutes east of Portland, the landscape goes completely epic. This waterfall tour heads into the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area — skyscraper cliffs, emerald rainforest and some of the most magnificent waterfalls in America — and its 370 guests rate it 4.95 stars.

The story starts in the Ice Age, when cataclysmic floods sheared away the land and left behind stone cliffs and plunging falls. You will take in the majesty from the Vista House, perched atop 800-foot sheer rock cliffs, and stand before Multnomah Falls — at 620 feet, one of the tallest year-round waterfalls in the United States.

Because it is a half-day format, it slots beautifully into a Portland itinerary: epic nature in the morning, city pleasures in the afternoon. At $66.67 per person, it might be the best-value wonder in the Pacific Northwest.
