The Rundown

How to navigate our weekend.

Getting to Skamania Lodge

Our ceremony and reception will both be at Skamania Lodge, which is about a 45 minute drive from the Portland Airport. Unfortunately there are no direct shuttles, so we recommend booking a rental car. If you’re flying in and are interested in carpooling with another guest, add your name to this document to coordinate amongst yourselves.
