Hike & SUP the Columbia Gorge
The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, where the mighty Columbia passes narrowly through the Cascade Mountains, is one of country’s great natural treasures. Explore the area’s extensive hiking trails, taking in sights of towering cliffs, soaring bald eagles, and countless waterfalls. Enjoy the protected and beautiful inlets of the Columbia River while learning how to Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP). We’ll spend our nights at the Menucha retreat and conference center in a comfortable lodge featuring showers, bunk beds, and the most spectacular view from any swimming pool in Oregon! For those in the group who are interested, we’ll also spend time bouldering (a form of rock climbing) at Portland’s largest indoor bouldering gym.
