Each season you experience in the Pacific Northwest has something incredible to offer. From pure white snow to a rainbow of wildflowers, the changing of the seasons is magical. When you stay at Carson Ridge Luxury Cabins this autumn, you’ll get to experience what makes it special: the Columbia River Gorge fall foliage. Wrap yourself in a cozy sweater, get into the autumn spirit with a cup of cider, and come see the incredible changing of the leaves.
When to Come See Columbia River Gorge Fall Foliage
If you want to see Columbia River Gorge fall foliage, your best bet is to come during a peak time. The peak leaf viewing time in the Gorge is usually late September to mid October. Luckily, peak colors usually last about two weeks, so you have a pretty long viewing window in case your prediction is off by a few days.

From the Water
No matter where you are in the Columbia River Gorge, the fall foliage is absolutely breathtaking. Try something new and see the colors from the Columbia River itself! Get out on the water with something like a classic Sternwheeler Cruise.
