Hey there. Corey with Envi Adventures here. If you like the smell of crisp, fresh water, a gentle breeze, and the warmth of a setting sun, then a summertime hike in the Columbia River Gorge is just what you need. Whether you’re from Portland, Oregon or just visiting, a hike is a great way to…

Corey here from Envi Adventures. Just yesterday I was flying back to Portland from Dallas, Texas and as we began our descent in to Portland I was looking out the window at the eastern Oregon wilderness below. Now, I know Oregon “wilderness” is nothing compared to rugged places like Alaska, or Canada. But, I was somewhat mesmerized by the vast amount of space seemingly untouched by people. Most people think of Oregon as a very lush, green state. But, only about 1/3 of Oregon is green and covered in trees. The rest of it is dry, brown, and high desert. But that’s part of the allure of it I think. From Portland, you are 2 hours from virtually any sort of natural environment you want: 2 hours from the coast, 2 hours from the mountains, 2 hours from the high…

On Sunday April 1st, we will hit the one-year mark flying around Portland on private airplane tours and what a year it has been! We’ve met people from places like England, Germany, Australia, South Korea, and Denmark. We’ve hosted people from dozens of different states, and have completed nearly 280 flights so far! While that doesn’t seem like a lot, we’re quite pleased with the result seeing as many assumed we wouldn’t even get one.   But, here we are, still here and still flying, and making that number get even higher! We’re excited for the next year with ideas on what to do next. We realize that when people come to Portland, they think of Portland-centric branded t-shirts and donuts, but we hope that we get added to that brainstorming on what to do in your travels. There are…

Hi there, Corey Rust with Envi Adventures. 2017 was a great year. Met a lot of great people, shared some great sunsets with people, and enjoyed beautiful Oregon weather through the Columbia River Gorge, over Downtown Portland, and up toward Mt. Hood. But that year is over, and we’re into 2018…as I’m sure you already…

Hey, Corey Rust here with Envi Adventures. Everybody loves the 4th of July! It’s the Christmas of summer with family and friend gatherings for barbecues, camping on the mountain, boating on the river, and everyone’s favorite…blowing up cheap Chinese made explosives. Nothing says freedom better than that. But when we think about the 4th, we also think of the sacrifice so many have made to maintain the freedoms we do have. These incredible men and women go where they’re called without second guessing even though the conflict might not even make sense. They go with courage and the respect of millions. So to those who go downtown and protest whatever it is they’re protesting, yelling and screaming at each other over petty disagreements, try shutting up for a second and think about the fact that there’s a young and courageous…
