The van eases east out of Portland before dawn, headlights cutting through coastal fog. As the city drops behind you, the road climbs into forest—Douglas firs and hemlock leaning in like an audience—and then Mt. Hood appears: a broad, glaciated cone that seems to wait for a camera. On this private full-day tour the mountain and the Columbia River Gorge alternate between commanding views and intimate moments: the thunder of Multnomah Falls, a quiet vineyard tasting in a sun-flecked row of pinot noir, and a lunch pulled from local ingredients on a roadside table.
