To begin this combination bike and hike excursion (bike and helmet are included in the tour price), we jump into the Pedal Bike Tours van and drive 45 minutes to the Historic Columbia River Highway, which was completed in 1915. On the way, we’ll stop at the most photographed scenic vistas in the Gorge before unloading the bikes for our ride.

This slightly downhill, 9-mile ride gives us a sense of what it was like to travel along the first National Scenic Highway in the country before the interstate highway. We’ll stop every mile or so at as many as six waterfalls for short hikes where you can feel the cool mist of water and the pulsing concussion of air amidst the lush green growth of dozens of species of trees, bushes, ferns and mosses. We may even glimpse osprey and bald eagles, the state’s native birds of prey.

After exploring the falls and ten miles of the Historic Columbia River Highway, relax as we transport you back to the city to complete your experience in one of the most beautiful places in Oregon.
