The 85-mile (137-km) long Columbia Gorge NSA would be a national park if it weren’t a critical transportation corridor. It features waterfalls, mountains, monoliths, terraces, resort towns, vineyards, orchards, and The River, harboring a plethora of fish and birds, and unique plants and invertebrates. There is said to be over 4000 waterfalls; many of which you have to hike to see. On this tour you’ll hike the western, rainforested, southern side of the Gorge, dubbed “waterfall alley” where we’ll have you getting misted by waterfalls, peering over cliffs, and learning stories of the area only the locals know.
