What you’ll see and experience
Historic Highway State Trail. Enjoy a scenic, low-stress start to your ride with 3.5 miles on the car-free Historic Highway State Trail. This paved trail offers sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge while giving you a chance to gain confidence on your e-bike before joining the shared roadway.
Multnomah Falls & Wahkeena Falls. Our first and longest stop on the tour is at Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in Oregon. Your guide will be available to take photos from the iconic Benson Bridge, and you’ll also have time to browse the gift shop and/or take a short hike to Wahkeena Falls.
Bridal Veil Falls. This hidden gem along the waterfall corridor is where we’ll stop for a picnic lunch with views of the Columbia River and a short, shady hike to the base of the falls.
Horsetail Falls and Ponytail Falls. Near the end of the tour, you’ll have the chance to cool off in the mist of Horsetail Falls, walk behind Ponytail Falls, or take a dip in the waterfall’s plunge basin. Just don’t forget to bring a towel if you want to get all the way in.

Why you’ll love it
Beat the heat and the crowds. Our early departure time allows you to visit Multnomah Falls while the air is still cool and the Benson Bridge is not overrun with peak midday crowds.
Skip the parking hassles. Going by e-bike allows you to avoid the parking headaches and get front-row access to all the most popular waterfalls. Our starting point at Toothrock Trailhead is also only 2 minutes from the I-84 exit and offers free parking for the duration of your tour.
Get the full Gorge experience. If you only visit Multnomah Falls, you’re missing out on so much of what makes the Columbia River Gorge special, including lesser-known waterfalls that our guests often say are the highlight of their trip.
Feel the thrill of riding electric bikes. E-bikes aren’t just a convenient way to get around; they’re a big part of the fun! And our Sena R2 bluetooth helmets will let you talk with your group along the way (for private tours only) and learn the history and geology of the waterfall corridor from your guide while you ride.
Take your time soaking it all in. You’ll only be actively riding for about half the tour, leaving plenty of time to explore the waterfalls, hike to the best viewpoints, and enjoy a picnic lunch along the way.
