Oregon Trails and The Portland Rose Festival
The program begins with a visit to the Johnston Ridge Observatory overlooking Mt. St. Helens to learn how the 1980 eruption forever changed the surrounding landscape. Then learn more about Portland with a panoramic Portland City Tour featuring Washington Park, the International Rose Test Garden, home to 7,000 rose plants and a visit to the Pit-tock Mansion, a French Renaissance-style chateau in the hills overlooking the downtown skyline. The third day of the trip brings the Portland Rose Festival, sure to be a highlight featuring the second largest all-floral parade in the country along with many other events throughout the city.
Other experiences and attractions on the program include a trip to the Oregon Coast, which provides fantastic scenery along with a visit to the coastal town of Astoria and drives past Rockaway and Cannon State Beaches. Visit the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a tour and tasting. Cruise aboard the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge through parts of the Columbia River Gorge, learning about Lewis and Clark while taking in the incredible Mult-nomah Falls, which drops over 600 feet and is one of the tallest waterfalls in the country.
