Wat je gaat doen
Long, long ago, the universe chose this place, and a traveler from the stars was sent to protect it...
But I'll save the end of that story for our walk...
First, gaze upon epic Willamette Falls--2nd largest US waterfall, yet able to dwarf Niagara--and home to humans for 12,000 years! Her legendary creation and hidden history are among Earth's greatest! Next, walk along McLoughlin Promenade in the footsteps of natives and pioneers portaging the great falls. Learn the significant natural and human history plus plenty of trivia and tall tales. Oregon's oldest structures, railroads, and engineering marvels reside here: the Willamette Locks and Canal (1872), our iconic Arch Bridge (1922), downtown Oregon City (1844), and the McLoughlin & Ermatinger House (1845). Beam up and down our weirdest wonder, the spacey Municipal Elevator (1915/55)--North America's only vertical street! Next, explore cozy Oregon City--winner of the the 2018 Great American Main Street Award. Historic buildings abound with quirky shops and yummy stops for food or drink. Last, stroll Arch Bridge and see Willamette Falls with new perspective, your mind filled with amazing unknown stories of Oregon--tourists and locals alike won't believe what they learn!
Ask about flexible start times or transportation!

I'm Adam "Thorn" Smith, lifelong Oregon resident and expert world adventurer! After three decades as teacher, travel writer, and tour guide--in 50 countries on 5 continents--I'm sharing my best secret, my home, Oregon. But, you'll want local know-how, and no one can show you Oregon like I do.
Above all, I value experiences. I love HISTORY, NATURE, and CULTURE, and I'm loaded with local facts, figures, fables and fabulous trivia that most Oregonians don't know! I have extensive experience teaching regional and global history, I continually research, and am convinced that you'll agree, Oregon is an incredible unknown treasure! For more on me, find Adam Thorn Smith on LinkedIn...feel free to connect!

Waar je naartoe gaat
We will meet at the viewpoint over Willamette Falls before an easy stroll to downtown Oregon City, about a half mile one way, on a paved path. Historic sites and uniquely engineered structures frequent the route, both Native American and pioneer. Equally, the astounding natural history and environment--features and creatures like waterfalls, rivers, mountains, salmon, beaver, birds--will be discussed.

Adam’s tour was a great insight into Oregon! He is so full of enthusiasm for his home that it overflows into everywhere we went. He took some wonderful photos as well that I couldn’t have gotten on my own. Definitely recommend this experience!

Adam is an amazing and friendly guide that knows more about Oregon than anyone I met there. He had tons of facts that I didn't find in my own research and he was friendly and engaging the entire time. You can see he really cares about the state and teaching and this showed throughout our time with him. On top of this, Adam was so nice and exceeded expectations with his friendliness, even offering to cook us breakfast!
