Day 3: Columbia River Gorge
Our journey through Oregon's spectacular scenery begins with a drive along the Columbia River Highway giving way to views of rugged cliffs and waterfalls. The tallest falls is Multnomah, cascading 620 feet. We also stop at the Bonneville Dam and Lock to see the salmon ladders before continuing closer to Mount Hood, the highest point in Oregon, with its snow-capped peak ascending 11,239 feet above the surrounding forest greenery. Following lunch at the historic Timberline Lodge, there's time to relax and soak in this splendid view before we travel on to our lodging in Bend.

A delicious lunch awaits us at Crater Lake Lodge serenely set on lake's shore. Continue to our lodging in Grants Pass.
