Please Plan and Prepare Before Visiting the Gorge
Increased visitation puts increased pressure on the Gorge’s limited resources. Always have a Plan B and a Plan C in case your destination is too crowded or closed.
Visit Car-Free with the Columbia Gorge Express
Sit back and enjoy the amazing views with one of the many shuttles leaving Portland each day for Multnomah Falls, Cascade Locks, Hood River or any of the great trails and unique towns linked by transit. No permits or reservations needed when you arrive by transit.
Historic Highway closed for repairs of viaduct east of Multnomah Falls
The east viaduct will close to all traffic, including bicycles and vehicles, from fall 2025 to spring 2026.
During the closure, vehicles traveling westbound from Hood River will be turned around at the Oneonta Trailhead before reaching the Multnomah Falls Lodge.
Other sections of the Historic Columbia River Highway will remain open during construction.
