We have an action-packed adventure waiting for you in these special days devoted to all things Friends Twilight. Right after an afternoon welcome orientation, you’ll be treated to a whirlwind afternoon tour to film locations in the Portland, Oregon area.  Plenty of time for photos of these accessible film locations.  There will also be opportunities to stop and purchase a treat at some of the locations along the way.

Before we head off to dinner, gather for a hotel reception and share photos from this afternoon’s adventure.

Dinner will be a fun event at a famous local brew pub – just one of the things which Portland is known for!

Multnomah Hotel For all three nights of your Twilight Fan Trip, we’ll enjoy accommodations at the beautiful 4-star Multnomah Hotel. Built in 1912, the historic Multnomah evokes an earlier time of romance and sophistication; you can just imagine Edward Cullen feeling very much at home here!  With extensive and comfy public areas, you’ll find plenty of space to gather with friends and discuss the growing excitement for the trip and the first movie release!

As an Embassy Suites property, your rooms are generously-sized with a separate sleeping and living area.  Join your friends for late-night chats in the privacy of your room for more intimate discussions.  Tomorrow is an action-packed day so get plenty of rest!

Nov 18

Enjoy a cooked-to-order breakfast buffet at your leisure then grab your tennis shoes for a lovely day out in the Columbia River GorgeWaterfalls We have organized a fantastic day of easy walking into the Gorge and visiting film locations guided by a member of the Friends of the Gorge who assisted with pre-shoot organizing of the Twilight movie.  While walking in “Edward’s footsteps”, our guide will share stories of the difficult conditions the crew had to undergo when filming in ice, snow and rain!  The Columbia Gorge is a spectacular river canyon 85 miles long and up to 4,000 feet deep.  This wild and beautiful place has also served as a human corridor for tens of thousands of years, and was visited by Lewis and Clark and traversed by thousands of Oregon Trail pioneers. How fortunate we are that Summit Entertainment chose to film in this breathtaking location!

Spend the day seeing the trees, the cliffs, the water from Edward’s eyes.  Don’t forget to bring your cameras for some of the Multnomah Falls Lodge most amazing photos you’ll ever take!  After crossing the river back to the Oregon side, we’ll have a rest at the cozy Multnomah Falls Lodge built in 1925.  Plummeting 620 feet from its origins on Larch Mountain, Multnomah Falls, another Twilight film location on your tour, is the second highest year-round waterfall in the nation.  After a short walk with a naturalist who assisted with pre-shoot organizing of the movie, we’ll settle down to enjoy authentic northwestern cuisine for lunch, served in a rustic, romantic setting.  But save room for dessert…..

View Point Inn A special afternoon treat has been planned at yet another film location, the romantic View Point Inn, where Bella and Edward share a few moments on the verandah after the prom.  The Inn has created a special dessert reception just for Twilight Fan Trips including a slide show with photos taken during filming, view props used in the movie, and enjoy dessert prepared by their renowned chef just for us!.  Relax, walk about the property and take plenty of photos and enjoy!

After a beautiful ride back to downtown Portland you’ll have time to relax before enjoying the Multnomah Hotel’s evening reception.

The excitement has been building for months and we are so thrilled to share with fans a SNEAK PREVIEW of TWILIGHT for a limited number of fans.  Participants on this trip already have their seats waiting for them – truly an event not to be missed!  After the show share the excitement with friends at the Multnomah or at any of the fabulous locations in downtown Portland!

*Final preview date subject to change.

Nov 19 Enjoy a cooked-to-order breakfast buffet at your leisure then get ready for a day full of exclusive discussions, film locations, food and Pajama Party!!

Bloated Toad We’ll spend all morning in St. Helens, Oregon, an inviting small town near the riverfront where Summit Entertainment chose to film a number of scenes for Twilight.  The Olde Towne portion of St. Helens features a Nationally Registered Historic District which includes residences and civic buildings dating back nearly a century.

After a guided walking tour of downtown St Helen’s and free time for photos and shopping, another exclusive opportunity awaits.  We have very special permission to visit the privately owned location used as the “Bloated Toad” - the restaurant where Edward and Bella had their first heart-felt conversations. During this extraordinary visit you will have a unique opportunity to hear a film location scout describe just how film locations are chosen.  A fascinating discussion you don’t want to miss!   We’ll also be enjoying lunch today at the “Bloated Toad”.  Feel free to chat with the owner and get a first-person perspective of what it is like to have your property transformed for Hollywood!   Dinner is on your own but be sure to be back for our evening Pajama Party!

Snuggle down in the fireplace room while award-winning Native American storyteller, Antoinette Botsford, weaves glorious tales of wolf children, engages us in interactive activities and creates a truly magical evening for all of us Twilight fans! Native American storyteller, Antoinette Botsford

A northwest native with family ties to indigenous North American and Celtic cultures, Antoinette Botsford delights in stories that stretch our way of seeing things.  Actress, teacher, and journalist, and for the last twenty years as a storyteller, she reaches into her own life journeys to spin tales of “traditional and true” that will expand your sense of reality and possibility.  Besides sharing some of her juicy stock of stories, she will lead a special hands-on project that will help you always to remember Twilight and its imprint in your own life.

A perfect end to a perfect Fan Trip!
