AN EBIKE TOUR FRIEND IN OREGON

Multnomah Falls and the Columbia River Gorge on Two Wheels with eBike Multnomah Falls

If you’re visiting Oregon, Multnomah Falls and the Columbia River Gorge are likely at the top of your bucket list. If you’re looking for a  fun way to experience the Columbia River Gorge the eBike tours offered by eBike Multnomah Falls are a great way to explore the Gorge. Tucked away in the heart of one of Oregon’s most iconic landscapes, these self-guided electric bike tours are the perfect blend of adventure, and natural wonder — designed for all skill levels and ages 16 and up.

Whether you’re a visitor looking for one of the best Oregon tours or a local who wants to explore the hidden corners of the Gorge, this experience is the most highly rated Columbia River Gorge tour on Google and TripAdvisor for a reason. It’s not just about seeing the waterfalls — it’s about experiencing the Gorge in the open air. 

A Better Way to Tour Multnomah Falls

The Columbia River Gorge is home to some of the most jaw-dropping landscapes in the Pacific Northwest — towering waterfalls, moss-draped cliffs, and quiet trails through old growth Douglas Fir forests. While most tourists experience the Gorge from inside a packed bus or by battling for a parking spot at Multnomah Falls, eBike Multnomah Falls offers a more immersive way to explore. No permit or parking hassles mean you have more time to explore the Gorge at your own pace.

Their flagship Half-Day Columbia Gorge eBike Tour starts 40 minutes from downtown Portland and takes you deep into the heart of the Gorge via the Historic Columbia River Highway and the State Trail. The ride is a breeze thanks to the pedal-assist electric bikes and the experience is full of scenic viewpoints, and waterfalls around nearly every bend.

This isn’t your average sightseeing stop-and-go tour. With eBike Multnomah Falls, you’ll travel the original route of the country’s first scenic highway — a route hand-carved through cliffs and forests in the early 1900s. 

The Route: Where Waterfalls and Wonder Await

The tour covers approximately 24 miles (round trip), and with the eBikes, it feels like a relaxing cruise. The protected bike path (14 miles) is closed to vehicle traffic, so guests enjoy a peaceful ride free from the noise and stress of cars. Instead, you’ll be surrounded by birdsong, rustling leaves, and the steady roar of nearby waterfalls.

Some of the highlights include:

    • Horsetail Falls – A dramatic 176-foot curtain of water that cascades right down to the roadside, with bonus upper Horsetail, a lava cave with a waterfall falling off the edge.
    • Multnomah Falls – Oregon’s most famous waterfall, standing tall at 620 feet. Guests have ample time to explore the base area, take a selfie on the iconic Benson Bridge, and grab a snack or coffee at the historic lodge.
  • Walchella Falls – A 2 mile round trip hike that looks like it could be from Lord of the Rings. We counted 11 waterfalls cascading down the slot canyon the last time we were there.
  • Bridal Veil Falls, Wahkeena Falls, and more – All strung like pearls along the Historic Highway, each waterfall has its own personality and story.

Digital Guides Make the Experience Shine

The Half-Day Tour Guide gives a great preview of what to expect — from meeting your host to gearing up with helmets, water, and safety tips. Everything is thoughtfully curated to ensure guests are comfortable, safe, informed, and ready to  ride.

The Columbia Gorge Bike Path Tour Guide shows in detail what all the options are on the protected bike path. The suggested route is to ride from John B Yeon to Cascade Locks and because it’s a self guided tour guests can use all the information in the guide to customize the tour to be the perfect fit for their group.

A Great Fit for All Types of Travelers

eBike Multnomah Falls tours are ideal for a wide range of visitors. Couples on a romantic getaway, families looking for something active but not too strenuous, solo travelers wanting to explore with a group, or even locals celebrating a birthday or special occasion — all are welcome.

The tours are self guided, which helps keep the experience personal and flexible. Private group bookings are also available and make a great option for corporate outings, wedding parties, or out-of-town guests looking to explore Oregon in a way they’ll never forget.

Sustainable, Scenic, and Surprisingly Affordable

As Oregon continues to lead the way in eco-tourism, eBike Multnomah Falls stands out as a perfect example of sustainable travel done right. The electric bikes produce no emissions, the tours minimize traffic and parking congestion, and guests are encouraged to support local businesses before and after their ride.

A Must-Do Oregon Tour

If you’re building your Pacific Northwest travel itinerary, make sure to carve out time for this unforgettable experience. Among the many Oregon tours available, this one offers a unique combination of access, beauty, and storytelling that’s hard to replicate.

It’s an especially great option for those staying in Portland and looking to escape the city. The starting point is just 40  minutes from downtown, and many guests report it being the highlight of their trip.
