Hike and Bike the Columbia Gorge

Posted on January 5, 2021October 9, 2022

8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. departures, 5 hours, $95

biking the Historic Columbia River Highway past Latourell Falls

We have never taken an unhappy person home from the end of a tour spent hiking and biking in the Columbia River Gorge.

We are often asked to list our “favorite tour.” This question is as mercurial as a tour guide but the vast majority of these questions are answered with this exact tour. It’s a way to see the waterfalls of the Columbia Gorge in the most intimate and carefree manner possible: by bike and hike.

We transport our guests and bikes in comfortable vans, and our guides ride with our very small groups. You’ll get personal attention and the safest experience we can provide.

If conditions permit, this tour also visits Multnomah Falls — the most visited tourist attraction in Oregon.

After meeting at our shop, we’ll fit you for bikes and take about a 30 minute drive into the Columbia River Gorge, east of Portland. Here we’ll start at a stunning vista of the gorge, getting on our bikes and riding along the Historic Columbia River Highway to other viewpoints and points of interest. Five to eight miles (8 to 13 km) of biking along gentle, curving, scenic downhills leads us to a number of waterfall hikes (2-3 miles, 3-5 km in total). On some days, after our hike we’ll ride another two to three miles (3 to 5 km) to another beautiful viewpoint of the Columbia Gorge.

Our tour also provides the most active hiking and visits waterfalls you will not see on other tours, and we keep our tours to eight riders, for maximum safety and comfort. 4.5 – 5 hours, 6 – 10 miles biking and 2.5 miles hiking, $95.

    Is it safe to assume that if one needed a bike the rental would be separate? Thank you.

    My husband and I do not bike very often, but we are in pretty good shape for being 50 years old. Would this tour be doable for us physically (and enjoyable)?

      Hi Raquel! The tour is not physically difficult; if you are reasonably comfortable on a bike, it’s quite doable! We very frequently have tour guests who are in moderate physical shape who find it quite easy. The more strenuous part of the tour is the hiking, but it’s at a very slow pace, as long as you can manage a little elevation gain it’s no problem at all (and even those who live mostly sedentary lives report having enjoyed the tour despite its challenges).
