Latourell Falls



(Or Horsetail Falls) Get off your bike and start the true immersion in the forest, what the Japanese call Shinrin Yoku. We’ll walk around the creek containing stunning plunge-style waterfalls, which tumbles over layers of 15 million-year-old columnar and entablature basalt frosted with lichens and, according to local legend, carries the spirit of a Beaver princess who led a tragic life. We’ll send you on a locals-favorite hike. Breathe deep: you’ll experience the rich variety of the forest with all its healing power and spiritual truths.

45 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Bridal Veil Falls State Park



(Or a similar waterfall) We’ll ride our bikes a little more, 2-4 miles (3-6 km) more before seeing one of the most beautiful and little-visited viewpoints in the Gorge. In the spring it is a carpet of camas, a native food.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Multnomah Falls



Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the state and one of the most impressive, and most photographed, waterfalls in the U.S. If you’re chasing waterfalls: this is the one many are seeking to catch. We’ll stop at the falls for photos and the 1/4 mile / 1/2 km hike to the iconic Benson Bridge.
