Summary: We had such an amazing time on our Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood tour today! 🏔️🌲✨ The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and every stop felt like a postcard. From the beautiful waterfalls and views throughout the Gorge to seeing Mount Hood, the entire day was so well planned and memorable. A huge shoutout to our tour guide, Daniel! He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole experience even better. He shared so many interesting facts along the way, kept everything organized, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. It was the perfect way to explore some of Oregon’s most beautiful places without having to worry about planning or driving. Such a fun day and definitely one of the highlights of our Portland trip! Highly recommend this tour — and if you get Daniel as your guide, you’re in great hands! ❤️🌲🏔️

Summary: This is a great way to see some waterfalls and Hood Mountain. The Ridgeline Lodge is the highlight of this tour. The Full Sail Brewery in Hood River is great for lunch. Only downside is that the Ford vans are not really luxury or premium and have limited leg room. Plan on some discomfort on the longer return ride.
