About this trip

The Historic Columbia River Highway packs more waterfalls into one drive than anywhere in the country. Sofia plans the stops so you see Latourell, Bridal Veil, Wahkeena, Multnomah and Horsetail without a single long climb, and lets you choose between the bridge walk and the extra viewpoint at Vista House.

Worth every dollar. We saw things we would never have found alone.

A great day out. Slightly long drive but the stops were worth it.
