De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat mogelijk in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de beoordelaar gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

Prachtige waterval. Als je de moeite neemt om het steile pad op te lopen, wordt het nog mooier! Je bent dan in een rustige omgeving aan de bovenkant van de waterval. Prachtig uitzicht en een mooie beek! Het is wel een hele klim maar het is het waard!

Een prachtige waterval niet ver van Portland. Je kunt klimmen naar het bruggetje en zelfs naar de top. Erg mooi. Enige minpunt: erg druk.

Met een georganiseerde tour laat onze gids zien over de staat Oregon. Een prachtige route vanuit het centrum Portland, naar het Westkust van Amerika. Op de terugweg, de laatste halte, het Columbia River Gorge. Een prachtige waterval. Heb er geen woorden voor als je op de brug staat.

Start zeker met het Columbia Gorge Discorvery Center in The Dalles, waar je in een mooi museum een en ander leert over de geschiedenis van de regio.
Wij reden de tocht van The Dalles naar Portland, en maakten tussenin een klein zijsprongetje richting Mount Hood, om een glimp op te vangen van de fruitregio (warm aanbevolen!).
Prachtigte mix van natuur en geschiedenis.Watervallen, Bonneville dam (met een nest visarenden met kleintjes op een piloon op dat moment), viewpoints.
Minder leuk vond ik dat de toeristische route niet aaneensluit en je af en toe een stukje autosnelweg ertussen moet nemen.Wel begrijpelijk, de route is soms echt smal.

Zorg dat je de hike helemaal af loopt.
Het is een leuke wandeling langs allerlei watervallen. Het eerste stukje is wat toeristisch, daarna niet meer.

Hi. We are in our late 60's and plan to visit Oregon late September, early October 2022 to hike in the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood areas and then over to the coast. We hope to spend 3 days in each location. We like hikes that take time (up to 7/8 miles RT) moderate level is our speed. We would love recommendations for places to stay where you are in nature, not tourist hustle bustle if possible. So places and great hikes in those two locations and a recommendation of a lovely place to stay and walk on the beach, hike, see art along the coast west of Portland where we will then be leaving from would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Sheila

Where in Columbia river gorge in Oregon where I can fish and swim on the waterfall??
Geschreven op 15 april 2019
The Columbia River Gorge is a National Scenic Area that encompasses parts of both Washington and Oregon, and covers a large distance from east to west. The most scenic part is along Interstate 84 east of Portland, Oregon, although there are some places in Washington that impress. Depending upon traffic in Portland, and how far into the Gorge you want to go, it is about a 30 minute to one hour drive to most destinations on the Oregon side.
As for "the" waterfall, that is a bit of a confusing question, since there are about 77 waterfalls in this area. Swimming "on" a waterfall is an unusual way to express it. I gather that you wish to stand at the bottom of one, in the falls itself. This is not advised for most of the falls here. Most are not accessible in that way, and most are quite powerful. And most are icy cold. I do not recall any falls that has a rep for people standing in them.
But...a few areas near falls are popular swimming areas and one trail, the Oneonta Gorge Trail, actually goes up a creek to a waterfall. Eagle Creek has a nice swimming area near Punchbowl Falls.
But...a lot of the trails are still closed due to the fire damage in 2017. Check locally to be sure the one you want is open at the time you wish to visit. Friends of the Gorge has a website that keeps up to date with trail access. (This website does not allow links.)
Fishing is popular on the Columbia River during the salmon run. By waterfalls, there isn't much to fish for here. Most of the local lakes are well stocked though.
One last thing you might wish to do. Open Google Earth and type in "Columbia Gorge." By perusing it you will get a better idea of what to expect.

Are you able to see the falls without walking too far?
Geschreven op 1 januari 2019
We are considering Oregon as a destination for a family trip in the summer to celebrate our 50th anniversary. 8 families with ages 1 - 75. We’d like pool, hiking, maybe rafting. We’ve done the coast many times so we’re thinking about inland.
Geschreven op 31 december 2018
Happy 50th! Our own 50th is in February!
The descriptions you give, leave a lot of leeway open. What part of Oregon do you have in mind? By inland, do you mean the Cascade Mountain Range, do you mean further east? How far south or north do you plan on seeing? Is Crater Lake a consideration, for example. We have been to every part of Oregon. The pretty scenery most people want to see is in the Cascade Range, but there are some other places of interest. Hells Canyon comes to mind.
Given the group you mention, I would not recommend Hells Canyon, though, and anything east of the Cascades is hot in summer.
Are you flying in and all hoping to stay at the same hotel, or a number of them nearby each other? If so, perhaps Portland is your best bet for keeping everyone in your entourage together and happy. Lots of variety in hotels at different price ranges, and Portland is central to lots of various activities that your group could do collectively or in smaller groups, as it interests them. So, as a starting place to plan this feat, I suggest perusing various hotels in Portland that would meet your needs and desires, where the most members of your party would be happy staying. I don't know your price ranges or style of travel, so to recommend one over the other wouldn't make sense. We stay at Hampton Inns, La Quintas, or sometimes Best Westerns. They are usually consistently good. Holiday Inns are also nice, but they recently started adding "air fresheners" in their lobbies, which scent eventually permeates every room. I don't know if they still do this. But if they do, it would be an issue for anyone in your party that has allergies. (I personally cannot stay there anymore for that reason.)
As for activities, Portland has quite a few things to do for such a cross-section of ages. The Rose Garden is world class, as is the Japanese Garden. The Rose Garden is on level ground and is relatively easy for all ages, and even though there is a shuttle that will take you to the front gate of the Japanese Garden, the garden itself requires walking. A toddler might get impatient and cranky here. An older one might not be able to handle the distances and uphill parts, especially if it's hot the day you visit. There is also an excellent, but small, Chinese Garden which would suit about anyone in your group.
Portland is known for its restaurants and beer. There are more than enough venues to meet anyone's interests. In fact, their food trucks are well known. Finding restaurants should be easy. Just type "restaurants" when you get to Portland on Google Maps.
If you are into video games and pinball, there are a few of those places too. One well known one is Ground Kontrol. (How they spell it.)
Pittock Mansion is a beautiful historic mansion open tho the public.
Powell's Books is a famous large book store downtown.
Into science? OMSI Museum is excellent. Great hands on science for the little ones, and you can tour a submarine too.
This is just a sampling. Type "Portland, Oregon" into Google Maps. After it takes you there, type "attractions in Portland, Oregon." You will get lots more ideas.
Thirty minutes to an hour (depending how far you go) from Portland is the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. Last year it was mostly closed due to a massive fire, but recently things have been reopening as they have been restored. It is a world class hiking area, with trails at all levels. People from all over the world visit. You could literally hike and camp all summer in here if you wanted to.
With that said, with so much to see, you might get overwhelmed. Possibly, you could divide your group into ability or interest levels. Those who can't hike do not need to miss out. There are five falls visible from old highway 30, which has recently been reopened, that can be seen from your car or only require a short walk of a few yards: Horsetail, Multnomah, Wahkeena, Shepperds Dell, and Latourell. Multnomah Falls has a lodge that is a restaurant and gift shop. (No rooms.) Above Horsetail Falls Trail is a falls you can go behind, Ponytail Falls; a moderate to easy climb of .8 miles out and back. It goes further, and if it's open at the time, there is a one mile hike to Triple Falls from Oneonta Falls, along the trail that starts at the base of Horsetail Falls. (It might still be in the process of repair from the fire, but I am guessing it will be open by the time you get there this summer.) That last mile is strenuous. Not for those out of shape, but the falls is so beautiful it's on the cover of a falls guide for the whole Pacific Northwest.
You can go up a trail to the top of Multnomah Falls. More strenuous, but moderate, not hard. Wahkeena and Multnomah have a crossover trail. You can park by one and do a loop. Moderate climb. Not for those unaccustomed to hiking, but a great trail.
Latourell has a 2.3 mile loop. The lower falls is visible from two viewpoints a few yards from the parking lot. The loop trail is fairly easy, especially if you go up to the top of the upper falls first, and not down to the base first. The trail from the base is longer uphill.
Other things in the Gorge: A fish hatchery and a tour of Bonneville Dam, both near each other. The tour closes after 5 p.m.
On the Washington side of the Gorge is Beacon Rock. (Visible throughout the Gorge.) You can climb to the top on a fairly easy trail. Parking is $10 per car. The trail is a lot of fun but not for anyone afraid of heights. Some of the bridges hang over nothing. The gate closes at dusk.
Obviously, there is a lot more to do in Oregon, but hopefully this gets you off to a good start. If you do decide to go inland to the dry side in summer, look up John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. There are three sections nearby each other. Essentially, this will be a day trip.
Again, happy anniversary, and I hope you all get along, and I hope you have a great time!

Hi,
I am planning a first time trip to Oregon in Aug. We will arrive on a Thurs morning and will spend the 1st nite in Portland..The next day we will drive the Columbia River Gorge. I would like to see Trillium & Lost Lakes, Mt Hood, accessible waterfalls, Crown Point Vista, Timberline Lodge, Bonneville Dam & hatchery and then head to Bend. I'm not sure how to map out these locations and if I need to do 2 nights around the Gorge area and then head to Bend. Any suggestions on how to map these locations out without doing a lot of backtracking? We have 9 nights to make our way down and back up the coast before we fly back out the following Sat from Portland.

P.S. Bonneville Dam and Hatchery are easy access off I-84 in the Columbia Gorge.

Hi Lily & Visitors,
We are planning to drive from Portland to Hood River, and stop for some sights along the way. From my understanding, there is still a lot of road closed on the Historic Columbia River Highway. Do you have a recommended route for seeing a few of your favorite falls "along the way" from Portland to Hood River?
Thank you!
Geschreven op 20 april 2018
As of yesterday, May 1, 2018, old highway 30 is still closed and so are most trails. There was an update on the local news yesterday. They are anticipating some to be open by mid summer.
With that said, if they are open, expect lots of people, since this is a popular area and the fire has closed it. So, everyone here is eager to get into the woods as soon as it's open.
If highway 30 is open, depending upon your ability level, there are many falls to see and to hike to. You can see Horsetail, Multnomah, Wahkeena, and Latourell all within yards from your car. If it's open, Elowah is a lesser traveled falls trail with an easy in and back hike, and beautiful falls.
All of this depends upon whether old highway 30 is open by the time you arrive. Otherwise, only the Latourell hike is open, as well as the lower viewing area for Multnomah Falls.
Beacon Rock and Rodney and Hardy Falls on the Washington side are worthy stops. Be sure to pay the parking fee ($10 last year.) For a more challenging but enjoyable trail, continue on to Hamilton Mountain after seeing the two previously mentioned falls.
