DC14 Day Trip Ideas
I've been kicking around 1 day trip idea that keeps growing on me more and
more and more to the point that I'm starting to obsess on it. So, before I
become married and inseparable from the idea, I want to get other peoples'
thoughts, have some time to accept criticism and see if anyone Knows People
to help make something like this happen affordably (Remember, we're Debian).
I'd really like to split the day in 2 and have the first part of the day to
mid-afternoon spent in the Columbia River Gorge with very light hiking (for
those who want it), a tour of a few of the falls (including Multnomah, of
course) and a stop by the Vista House. (And a picnic lunch because it'll be
*August*.)
>From there, trek people up to Mt Hood and let those who want to wander and
hike the Timberline trails do so, and hopefully have our formal dinner
there. The views from the lodge are breathtaking, and the drinks are
awesome. (I mean, um.)
I have requested information from Timberline to get a quote on what a dinner
for our group size could be (estimating 350ish), and have kinda glanced for
tour groups for the gorge, and tried not to cry when I saw the prices per
person. I don't think we'd need a *tour*, but I guess we'd also have to look
up what we'd have to be responsible for if we just arranged a bunch of buses
to wander around the Scenic Highway. The idea is to do this in the middle of
the week, so traffic and outrageous numbers of people shouldn't be that much
of an issue. (Maybe. Hopefully.)
Anyway. Ideas? Thoughts? Do I go back to the drawing board on this?
