  • Hiking to the Gorge's waterfalls is a classic Portland area day trip. The popular 13-mile Eagle Creek Trail visits more waterfalls than any other trail in the Gorge. Don’t miss the breathtaking Multnomah Falls, the second highest year-round waterfall in the United States.
  • The Columbia River Gorge is famous as the boardsailing capital of the world—it functions like a wind tunnel and creates ideal conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. Enjoy an easy hike to watch the action on the water.
  • The Klickitat River is a classic whitewater wilderness experience available only during the spring run-off, usually April through July.
