A recap of where we came from with the Eagle Creek Fire 🔥
It’s now been 9 years since the blaze that changed our world on Labor Day weekend in 2017 🔥

We did it again!… Thanks to the help of Cody Walker, at Underriner Ford in The Dalles

FYI

The shadows are getting longer as fall slowly approaches and the views continue to be amazing but change with the seasons.

This Tuesday will be the last Tuesday for our summertime schedule and Vista House will be open from 9am to 5pm.

Next week after Labor Day, we will return to the building being open to visitors on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays from 9am to 5pm.

An Oregon State Parks Day-use parking permit - either single day fee or annual pass - is required at Crown Point State Park and other nearby Oregon State Parks including parks along the waterfall corridor.

Celebrating 40 Years of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area! (1986–2026)

We were honored to contribute to the festivities by providing transportation for elected officials, Tribal representatives, and community partners to Turtle Haven and back to the pavilion for lunch.

The Gorge is our home, and The Gorge is all we do.

Coming to the Gorge?

You don't need us to find a waterfall.

You need us to pick you up. No driving, no parking, no wondering what comes after — the rest of your day is already built. Wine tasting for the group, a cidery after? We'll set it up. That's the part we handle. We just pick you up.

Message us — we'll build you the day.

The Gorge is all we do.
We are permitted and insured.
