Columbia Gorge

The Columbia River Gorge is a treasure to behold. The wonderful waterfalls and scenery are just grand. The Mighty Columbia River carve out these mountains eons ago. Don't take I-84, take the old Columbia River Highway (not recommended for large vehicles). Be sure to stop at Bonneville Dam and see the impressive locks and fish ladders. At Cascade Locks take a sternwheeler cruise...

And of course, stop at Oregon's #1 tourist attraction, Multnomah Falls!

Mt Hood as viewed from near Portland Airport. It is a gorgeous mountain/volcano. Glaciers on it year round. There is skiing from November until March, with glacier skiing often up to June/July. (12/00)

Multnomah Falls in the Columbia Gorge is the top tourist attraction in the state. The fall are wonderful, just off of I-84. However I recommend using the Scenic Columbia Gorge Highway (Old US30) to get there (as long as your not driving an RV). (6/00)
