We left on the 9:00 trolley from Corbett, first hopping off at Bridal Veil Falls. We had plenty of time for a leisurely hike down to the falls and back, and a second trail gave us great views of the Columbia River Gorge. Catching the next trolley (running every hour), we went to Wahkeena Falls, and after viewing the falls, hiked the path to Multnomah Falls, which was the highlight of the day. We splurged and had a delicious Sunday brunch at the Multnomah Lodge (reservations recommended), and then boarded an eastbound trolley to head to Horsetail Falls. Horsetail Falls is close to the highway, so after a short visit we jumped aboard the westbound trolley and headed to Latourell Falls. There we did the figure eight loop, which took around a half hour. After a short wait we were ready to board our last trolley back to Corbett, tired but happy at all the falls we’d seen.
Impressions: the Trolley runs along the Historic Columbia River Highway. Parking at the various waterfall locations is very limited. We felt a little sorry for drivers waiting to find parking spots while we hopped on the trolley and were off to see the next waterfall. The highway is narrow and twisty, so the driver in our family was grateful to be able to relax and see the sights, instead of worrying about driving.
The hiking possibilities are almost endless, but the Waterfall Trolley has recommended itineraries and can advise on how to maximize use of the time that you have available. At each location there were trail maps prominently displayed at kiosks, making it easy to decide which trail to take.
The trolleys are San Francisco cable car style, with open air and enclosed portions. Informative narrations provide background on the history and geography of the Columbia River gorge and the waterfalls. Those with an interest in engineering will enjoy hearing about the construction of the Columbia River Highway.
We highly recommend the Waterfall Trolley — we found it a fun and relaxing way to experience the Waterfall Corridor.
