Imagine escaping to the middle of nowhere and feeling as free as a bird as you explore the ins and outs of some of nature’s finest grounds. At The Columbia River Gorge in Oregon you will experience sheer natural bliss the second you step into this 80-mile long geological wonder. With 4,000 feet cliffs, a 1,200-mile-long river, a dozen waterfalls, and the picturesque 620-foot Multnomah Falls, the beauty can be found in every nook and cranny of the gorge.
The wonderful thing about the gorge is that it offers year-round adventures like never before. Spend a weekend here during those hot summer months and take to camping, hiking, cycling, golfing, whitewater rafting, kayaking, bird watching, kite-boarding and of course boating. The gorge enables you to explore the wilderness during the cold winter months as you go snowshoeing, snowboarding or cross country skiing through along its trails.
Embrace every second of your time at The Columbia River Gorge by exploring its endless geological wonders. If you’re planning, like the rest of the world, to stay here for more than just a weekend, than book your stay at any of the quaint bed and breakfasts or stay in a historical hotel. The gorge is filled to the brim with adventures to be sought out, even if your not in tune with the great outdoors. Take to the art galleries, shops, restaurants, wine tours, or museums throughout the gorge. The bountiful attractions and adventures you’ll embark on will be an experience worth waiting for.
