The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, the Army Corps of Engineers at The Dalles Dam and Gray Line of Oregon launched an “Explore The Dalles” shuttle service on Saturdays through Sept. 15. The service is a pilot program that will connect at Hood River in the morning with the New Columbia Gorge Express and return to Hood River in the afternoon to connect with bus service to Portland.
The shuttle will operate five loops each Saturday in The Dalles, beginning and ending at the Chamber of Commerce office. The ten stops will include the Fort Dalles Museum, three downtown locations, The Dalles Dam Visitor Center and Dam, Sunshine Mills and The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center.
The Dalles Dam stop will include tours of the Dam at no charge.
This service will provide options to explore Historic Downtown The Dalles, enjoy meals, wine tastings, and shop at various locations, as well as exploring the Fort Dalles Museum ($8 adult, $5 senior) and Columbia Gorge Discovery Center ($9 adult, $7 senior.)
The service will be provided with 35 seat “Park Coaches” with glass top roofs and large picture windows; they are modeled after 1930’s era “National Park Buses” used in Yellowstone and other park locations. Schedules and route maps are available at various locations, including the Chamber, as well as online at www.ExploreTheDalles.com.
