Recommended car: It is advisable to book a full-size car like a Chevrolet Malibu<br />

Being built in 1917-this 23 miles (37 Kilometres) road trip is the oldest s<strong>ce</strong>nic route<br />

in the country and was considered one of the greatest feats for its time. Today, it is<br />

revered as a National Historic Landmark that puts on display some of the most<br />

astonishing views you can witness via your mode of transportation. Commencing in<br />

Troutdale, you will embark on an exhilarating journey that will leave you in awe<br />

over the marvellous attractions such as the Vista House which sits over 700 ft above<br />

the Columbia River, to the series of waterfalls (LaTourell Falls; Wahkeenah Falls-<br />

242 ft and Multnomah Falls-620ft) that coat the foliage covered cliffs and flow<br />

under the triumphant bridges that still stand to this day and lets not forget the carved<br />

out road tunnels that cut through the Cliffside offering the most spectacular views.<br />

Useful tips: Time your visit at the Historic Columbia River Highway during offpeak<br />

travel times and shoulder seasons. To avoid congestion, ensure to start your<br />

trip before 10 am.<br />
