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.
Seasonal Timed-Use Permits at Multnomah Falls
A timed use permit will be required for visitors using the I-84 (Exit 31) Multnomah Falls parking lot daily between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. from May 23 through September 1 of this year.
The purpose of the permit system is to help reduce congestion, increase safety and improve overall visitor experience.
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 at Larch Mt Road through Sept
Due to landslide repairs, the Historic Columbia River Highway (US 30) will be closed between Portland Women’s Forum and Vista House through September.
Exit 22 at Corbett Hill Road and Exit 28 at Bridal Veil will remain open to access destinations along the Historic Highway.
To reach Vista House, travelers should use eastbound I-84 Exit 28 to Bridal Veil and travel west on the historic highway.
Visitors to Portland Women’s Forum should take I-84 Exit 22 to Corbett Hill Road to access the forum.
