Participants begin by getting fitted for bikes at the shop located at 833 SE Main Street #121. After preparation, the group travels in air-conditioned vans to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, where the biking and hiking take place along a shared road with cars. The tour lasts about four and a half hours and includes the use of helmets, bicycles, and bottled water. The route takes travelers through the western section of the 80-mile Columbia River Gorge canyon, known for its many waterfalls. The first stop includes a visit to Multnomah Falls or the nearby Vista House and Chanticleer Point, where guests can take photos and hear stories about the indigenous peoples who lived in the area and how the waterfalls formed. Next, the group reaches Latourell Falls or Horsetail Falls, where participants dismount to hike around the creek and see plunge waterfalls flowing over 15 million-year-old basalt formations. The guides share local legends about the falls and invite guests to follow a favored local trail through the forest. After more biking for 2 to 4 miles, the tour visits Bridal Veil Falls State Park or a similar waterfall, including a viewpoint that is less visited and notable for its springtime camas flowers. The final stop returns to Multnomah Falls for photos and a short quarter-mile hike to Benson Bridge, which offers close views of the tallest waterfall in Oregon. Throughout the tour, guides ride alongside the group for assistance and safety. The tour welcomes travelers aged 13 and older and accommodates larger groups when arranged in advance.
