Guided hike at Silver Falls State Park plus a scenic Willamette Valley drive, picnic lunch, and small-group feel from Portland.

“We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our tour guide, Sylvie. There were no other parties in our group, so it turned out to be a private tour for the 7 of us. We got a good weather for hiking -breezy in the morning, got an occasional glimpse of the sun throughout, and generally dry for the time of year. This is a hiking tour so be prepared to hike for about 5 miles to see all 10 spectacular falls of the Silver Falls park. Don’t worry about too many falls and not enough time. The pace was perfect to take many pictures of various angles of the…”

We hiked the Trail of 10 Falls, then had about an hour break at the lodge and gift shop while the van was retrieved, before heading to two vineyards. Tip: a case of wine flies free on Alaska Airlines! You just need to buy the right packing materials before you get to the airport. Silver Falls State Park and Oregon are beautiful!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $69

Half-day small-group Gorge hiking from Portland with quick waterfall walks, snacks, and smart logistics, including Multnomah and Latourell.

“The only reason we booked a tour was bec we were coming from out of state and we were afraid we wouldn’t get a timed entry pass for multnomah falls. Unfortunately the tour wasn’t what was described on the site!!! They DO NOT take you to Multnomah Falls. You drive by and see it from the van window… I read through 40 different tours before choosing this one. I was very disappointed. Also, our guide didn’t even know how to get us to the upper falls at Latourell Falls… we hiked a couple miles and never made it.. he told us it was his first time on that trail!!! lol.…”
