Our Mount Hood Loop tour,
offered year 'round, is located on
the northern boundary of Oregon: one of the world’s most scenic highway
loops; through a gorge cut by the Columbia River along Interstate I-84,
along the fault-and volcano-bounded Hood River Valley, and up the flanks
of Mount Hood to the 'top'. Mt.
Hood (photos),
a dormant volcano, is the tallest mountain in Oregon, and is located 20
miles east of Portland. Your guided private limousine ride/tour
features our
Columbia River Gorge
Tour also which includes
Multnomah Falls
and
Crown Point
with its 35-mile long panoramic view of the Columbia River Gorge. We visit several more waterfalls,
while following the
Columbia River Gorge Historic Highway,
then through the orchards of the picturesque Hood River Valley and the Mt.
Hood forest, up to historic
Timberline Lodge,
where you can relax, photograph and enjoy the beautiful scenery and
historic lodge. If you choose to have a picnic lunch there, you can take 'the
magic mile chairlift ride' to the top of the mountain!
Also, Ranger lodge tours may be available from 12-3PM. We then conclude our tour with
a scenic ride back to Portland.

The Columbia River Gorge
Highway is in the near vicinity of all of the waterfalls and stops on this
tour. Therefore, care should be taken, especially for children,
when near or crossing this highway to get to the viewing areas of the
waterfalls, or at any other location on our tour.
We are proud to
offer catering services with any of our excursions. Enjoy appetizers and
a
gourmet picnic lunch during your
tour (Lunch is at additional cost). This would be the perfect complement to your tour, while you enjoy
the view of Portland.** All
tours are private limousine transportation. Tours may be able to
be customized, please inquire, and are approximately 8.5 hours long. Tour
is offered in private, luxury town cars or limousines.
* TRAILHEAD RELEASE AGREEMENT: While we
consider this tour to be completely safe; in wilderness areas, possible
wilderness dangers are always present. If you plan on hiking on any
trails, a Trailhead Release Agreement form will be required for your tour. Our
employees will not accompany your group on the hike. In fact, our tour
ends at the trailhead, and begins again at the trailhead on your return.
Optional
hikes are not recommended for children or pets. Though most trails
are continually within earshot of running water, you should plan on carrying
your own supply for longer hikes. Some cliff sections (on certain hikes) are extremely exposed, so anyone subject
to vertigo should proceed carefully, and turn back if the first set of
cliffs are uncomfortable... they may only get higher, and more exposed!
On most available
hikes, the elevation gains are modest, with gradual climbs spread throughout the hike.
However, the trail surfaces are often rocky and uneven, and anything less than
a good pair of hiking shoes or boots is not adequate. Also keep in mind that
the Columbia Gorge is home to
poison oak and other
poisonous plants,
and they grow along some trails. If you're
susceptible to it, keep an eye out in sunny, open cliff-tops and open oak
forests. Long pants are a good idea is you're particularly sensitive.
Most hikes we mention as
options we consider to be short & 'easy'. Our basic short hike options
will be in the Columbia River Gorge at Wahkeena Falls, Multnomah Falls,
Latourell Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.
