Best of the City walking tour

From cast iron-fronted buildings to the grandly disastrous post-modern Portland Building, much of Portland, Oregon’s history can be told through the buildings and street layouts; most importantly, the prioritization of parks throughout the city center. How did the city’s early urban planners decide on their layouts? How do modern designers look at the past and plan for the future? Who are the people these streets are named for? What’s with all the roses? It’s not a dry history: full of back-room deals, early deaths and greed; and then there were the hippies! We’ll also discuss the modern rise of radical activists in Portland and how that is intimately connected to the city’s history going back more than a century. Two hours, two miles

Scenic Explore Tour

Our Scenic UTV Tours are perfect for looking to take in the sights and views without the learning curve of riding a snowmobile. A total of 20 miles of groomed trails and 2300 feet of elevation gain await you, as well as frequent wildlife sightings (deer and moose). The terrain on these tours is similar to the terrain on our Snowmobile Adventure Tours, with two significant exceptions: (1) There is no free riding in the meadows, and (2) These tours are too big to go on any of our single-track snowmobile trails. These vehicles are not as fast as snowmobiles, either. Despite that, these UTVs are easy to drive. If you can drive a car, you can drive one.

Ice Skating

Every Fall, the Upper Pond of the whitewater system converts into a one-of-a-kind ice skating experience open to all ages and experience levels. The Whitewater Center’s ice rink consists of over 24,000 sq. ft. of unique skating space split into four distinct skating areas, including two ice trails and two free skate zones. Centered in the converted pond is an on-ice Airstream serving hot and cold beverages when guests need a skate break.
