Twenty minutes, one mighty river and cliffs rising on both sides of the wingtips: this little flight over the Columbia River Gorge packs a whole vacation’s worth of wow. Envi Adventures’ scenic air tour holds a 4.90-star rating from its 90 passengers.
The plane rides low above the Columbia, following the river as it cuts between the slowly rising walls of the Gorge, and swings past the Vista House at Crown Point — the same icons the ground tours visit, now arranged beneath you like a living map. With room for up to three passengers, it feels wonderfully personal.
As an introduction to the Gorge — or a grand finale to a Portland trip — it is hard to beat: short, spectacular and beautiful in every season. From $129 per person.
