The view from Chanticleer Point, overlooking the Columbia River Gorge, which is 80 miles long and up to 4,000 feet deep with the north canyon walls in Washington State and the south canyon walls in Oregon State. We routed our trip home to be able to spend a day exploring this very special National Scenic Area. It was overcast but the views were still spectacular.
The interior of the Vista House, known as the "Jewel on the crown". This structure was built in 1917 at Crown Point with sweeping views of the gorge. The architecture is spectacular.
The exterior of the Vista House.
When you stop at Crown Point be sure to take time to notice the attention to detail and the craftsmanship of the Vista House and surrounding grounds.
There are seven waterfalls along the along the Historic Columbia River Highway. This one is Latourell Falls.
And this one is Wahkeena Falls.
A beautiful and architecturally stunning walking bridge crosses Multnomah Falls.
Betty and Lucy on the bridge.
Even the bridges on the roadway are great!
Horsetail Falls.
