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.
All of the hiking takes place in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The tallest waterfall in the state, with a combined height of 620 feet.
This 1.5-mile (2.4-km) roundtrip hike will take you to the base of Elowah Falls, providing sunning views of Beacon Rock across the Columbia River along the way.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
