- Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area - The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area safeguards the breathtaking canyon where the Columbia River carves through the Cascade Mountains, featuring cliffs and viewpoints of Washington to the north and Oregon’s mountains and waterfalls to the south. The Gorge is distinguished by its natural and cultural history, as well as its status as a National Scenic Area. As the journey progresses to Multnomah Falls and Hood River, the route will pass through the Columbia River Gorge.
- Multnomah Falls - Just a 30-minute drive from Portland, Multnomah Falls is a waterfall as magnificent and unforgettable as any in the nation. This 611-foot-tall, roaring cascade of icy water offers an opportunity to experience the power and beauty of nature up close and effortlessly. There will be a stop here, allowing time to walk to Benson Bridge and explore the historic Multnomah Falls Lodge.
- Rowena Crest Viewpoint - Overlooking a significant chokepoint along the Ice Age Floods path, Rowena Crest is situated nearly 700 feet above the Columbia River at the upstream end of Rowena Plateau, a miles-long promontory that juts into the river’s path. This forces the river around the plateau through a relatively narrow section of the Gorge known as the Rowena Gap. A stop will be made here to enjoy the view and capture stunning photographs! This location will be visited in Spring, Summer, and Fall.
- Mount Hood National Forest - Mt. Hood National Forest features eight wilderness areas, covering 311,448 acres or about one-third of the forest. The drive will pass through this forest en route to Timberline Lodge.
- Mount Hood - Mt. Hood’s eternally snowy peak, crowned by eleven glaciers, one for every thousand feet it rises above sea level, is visible from miles away. It hosts six ski areas, making it an excellent base camp for skiers. Beautiful alpine lakes, such as Lost, Trillium, and Mirror, dot Mt. Hood’s slopes, each offering a unique view of the mountain.
- Timberline Lodge - Built in 1937, Timberline Lodge is located on the south slope of Mt. Hood at an elevation of 6,000 feet. This stunning 55,000 square foot structure emerges from a pristine alpine landscape and continues to serve its original purpose as a magnificent ski lodge and mountain retreat for all to enjoy. Legendary and awe-inspiring, it is a tribute to the rugged spirit of the Pacific Northwest and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. If weather or road conditions present challenges, no worries! The experienced guides will adjust the route to ensure the best Mt. Hood Loop tour experience.
