Excursão para as Cachoeiras da Garganta do Rio Columbia e Monte Hood
Esta é uma excursão de dia inteiro, normalmente oferecida das 9h às 16h30. Observe que a rota da excursão e as vistas podem variar dependendo do período do ano e das condições climáticas. É sempre nossa meta fornecer a você a aventura mais interessante possível.
Partiremos do centro de Portland e seguiremos para o leste ao longo do Rio Columbia para Troutdale, conhecido como a Porta de entrada para a Garganta! Viajaremos pela bela autoestrada histórica do Rio Columbia, a primeira rota cênica planejada dos Estados Unidos, e seguiremos nosso caminho para nossa primeira parada do dia: a Vista House de Crown Point. Esta famosa vista fica 223 metros acima do Rio Columbia, no topo dos resquícios de um fluxo de lava que varreu a Garganta cerca de 14 a 17 milhões de anos atrás! Aqui, você encontrará vistas incríveis de 180 graus da Garganta do Rio Columbia e conferirá a Vista House. Um observatório e museu detalhadamente projetados, a Vista House está listada no Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.
De lá, seguiremos mais fundo à Área Panorâmica Nacional do Rio Columbia. Nossa primeira cachoeira do dia será a impressionante Cachoeira Latourell que mergulha em 75 metros sobre uma enorme muralha de basalto colunares. Dependendo da temporada, uma trilha curta pavimentada de 0,40 km o levará a uma vista mais próxima das cataratas.
A próxima cachoeira que visitaremos será a grande Cachoeira Multnomah. Com quedas de 188 metros em duas etapas principais, a Cachoeira Multnomah é a cachoeira mais alta do Oregon e a segunda maior da nação! Aqui, iremos conferir o chalé histórico da Cachoeira de Multnomah (de estilo cascadiano de pedra e madeira, construída em 1925), bem como a própria bela Cachoeira Multnomah. Durante o incêndio da garganta de 2017, os bombeiros lutaram incansavelmente e, por fim, salvaram este histórico local de interesse. A plataforma para vista facilmente acessível oferece uma vista total da Ponte Benson e das cachoeiras mais adiante.
Seguindo para Hood River, também conhecida como a capital de windsurfe do mundo, faremos uma pausa de 1 hora com a oportunidade de conferir a cidade e almoçar. Após o almoço, saia em direção ao sul, passando por pomares pitorescos e campos de lavanda. Se houver tempo, poderemos até mesmo fazer uma breve parada em uma das tendas das fazendas!
Continuando, seguiremos caminho, subindo a aproximadamente 1.820 metros de altitude, até Timberline Lodge. Este local de interesse nacional fica orgulhosamente no pico mais alto de Oregon: o Monte Hood! Atraindo mais de 10 mil alpinistas, o Monte Hood é um gigante a ser contemplado. Vamos em uma excursão a pé dentro do chalé e desfrutar da próxima cadeia de montanhas com cascatas e vistas das varandas ao ar livre do chalé. Se o tempo permitir, faremos uma curta caminhada até o cruzamento com a Trilha do Pacífico, logo atrás do chalé, tudo conduzido por seu guia.

This tour was excellent. The itinerary is excellent and our tour guide Will was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, friendly and made the day very memorable. We were lucky he was our guide on this excellent tour.
Zeke, our guide, is very knowledgeable, friendly and interested in ensuring that his guests have a terrific time. He has a lively and engaging personality, and talked about Portland, its history and the sites we were going to see in a way that was interesting and easy to understand. We had plenty of time for photos and walking around at each stop. The trip was well-planned and the bus was clean and comfortable. Great job, Zeke, and thanks to Wildwood Tours!
We did the all day tour. It was excellent!! Our tour guide, Deana, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She even assisted with taking photos if requested. I would take a tour with her again. The tour had a good pace of driving and stopping for photos, etc. Timing seemed just about right. We would highly recommend this tour. It was certainly one of the highlights of our two week trip in Oregon and Washington!!
The tour was excellent. You can’t ask for a better tour guide. They called him “Z”. Super cool guy and very well informed of the area.
Enjoyed the tour. Aaron did a great job keeping us informed and engaged. Glad to accommodate our needs.
It was great. She was very knowledgeable and lots of fun. She really knew her stuff. Very personable.
Me and my friends had a great time. We had plenty of time to admire the waterfalls. Our guide was amazing. He told us so many facts about Oregon and its history. He also was great because most of the van was sleeping, but he was still engaging for the few that remained awake. He also had great recommendations for lunch and cool tips for photographs etc...
This tour was the best day we had in Portland. We were fortunate to have a very knowledgeable and passionate tour guide in Will. We were entertained by Will’s anecdotes about the history and geography of Portland while seeing the scenic sites on and off the road. It was a worthwhile and meaningful experience!
Trip was informative and an excellent intro to the area. Lots of beautiful scenic routes. Only thing I would add is perhaps to allot more time at the Timberline lodge in order to explore Mt. Hood a bit closer. Overall Highly recommended.
This trip, though long was full of great things to see and do. The guide, Nicholas, was knowledgeable and kept us entertained during the time between stops.
Everything about this tour delivered! The scenery (waterfalls, Mt Hood, Hood River, etc.) was beautiful. Our guide (Devon) was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable with a clear passion for the job. I highly recommend this tour to any Portland visitors- it will not disappoint.
Jesse is a great tour guide. Very nice and goes out of his way to explain everything. Highly recommended
This was an enjoyable, relaxing way to spend the day. With a small vehicle it was easy to get in and around to have a close up view of the waterfalls, Vista Pointe and Mt. Hood. The tour guide, Aaron was very friendly and knows the history of the area very well. He did an excellent job and would recommend asking for him. A not to be missed trip when you visit the Portland area
