Visiting the enchanting waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Byway, which are highlighted by magnificent views from towering lava cliffs, lush temperate rainforest, hundreds of different species of vibrant wildflowers, and the magnificent spectacle of Multnomah Falls, the second-tallest year-round waterfall in the U.S. We enjoy the spectacular majesty of Oregon's tallest mountain after a delightful lunch in Hood River and a journey through miles of lovely orchards and vineyards! It has a rich volcanic history, 5 separate ski areas, including year-round skiing on the Palmer glacier, and is the second most climbed peak in the world. While hiking on, go to the famous Timberline Lodge, sip a cool beverage, and discover its fascinating heritage.
