FROM PORTLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (PDX) TO SKAMANIA LODGE

We know our shuttle schedule may not align with everyone's arrival time. To support those arriving outside of shuttle hours, we've created a simple Google Sheet for attendees flying into PDX who'd like to coordinate a shared ride with others.

Whether you’re traveling as a group or solo, getting to Skamania Lodge is easy by car. Along the 45-minute ride you’ll see gorge waterfalls dotting the basalt cliffs.

  • Take Uber or Lyft: Both Uber and Lyft are available at PDX. Get directions to the pickup zone.

  • Rent a car: Several car rental agencies operate out of PDX. Onsite self-parking at Skamania Lodge is included in your amenity fee.

Ride Share & CAR RENTALs

We organized complimentary shuttle buses to make your travel as convenient as possible. No advance registration needed! Just arrive at the designated pickup zone at the scheduled time. Each shuttle trip has a seating capacity of 27 passengers. In the unlikely event that a shuttle reaches its limit, seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so to be safe, arrive a few minutes early.

  • Tuesday, April 29: Shuttles will depart PDX at 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm (PT).

  • Wednesday, April 30: Shuttles will depart PDX at 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm (PT).
