No matter the weather, the Columbia River Gorge is always a beautiful destination. Whether hiking, biking, sightseeing, kiteboarding, this is an amazing location, with remarkable sights.
This is an exhilarating cruise. I would recommend the dinner cruise. It's a little pricey but definitely worth it. The dinner itself was extravagant and comes with a drink if you want. The cruise itself is outstanding along with the staff. There's a piano player that has beautiful songs and you can request songs as well as dedicate songs. The night cruise is nice, cool and very vibrant with the city lights. It's worth it for any occasion. I would go again. The staff if very friendly and accommodating not to mention very talented.
Wonderful, beautiful views. Nice watching the wind surfers sail the gorge waters. Fun place to take visitors.
If you haven't been through the gorge you haven't been through one of the most beautiful places in America. Even just driving the interstate is a dream come true for people that love varied landscapes. The gorge is a wonder in hood river is the jam is it in downtown Hood River is like visiting in town from the past there are a quaint little place with beautiful buildings and wonderful places to eat. If you're driving down I 84 you should swing into downtown Hood River and catch a bite at one of the local restaurants. There is a fabulous Burrito Bar in town as well as a number of sandwich shops for a quick bite. You'll be glad you stopped enjoy the gorge!
We took a drive down from Seattle to Portland and made our way over to the gorge, we loved it, just wish we had more time, we will definitely come back, amazing views!!
Arrived in Portland and crossed the river to Washington State. Traveled west to east on the Washington side, crossed over at The Dalles and traveled east to west back to Portland. Allow plenty of time for stops along the road.
Mother Nature did a fabulous job in the gorge. Breathtaking scenery. Hike on the many trail. Watch the sun rise, the colors are amazing.
The Columbia River Gorge is one of the MOST beautiful places on Earth. A must see in one's lifetime. The gorge is home to world-class wineries and brewers. It is nirvana for lovers of all things outdoors; such as hiking on waterfalls, windsurfing and kiting, snow skinning, white water rafting, and more. People come to visit and never go home.
cross some bridges, visit dam, use the turnouts, check out some waterfalls... Ms be sure to visit the Stonehenge replica.
Love the highway travel there, amazing rock formations, and even saw a few mountain goats! Always windy, but then, it is the top destination for windsurfing!
