The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic
Area begins just 30 minutes East of Portland and is packed with
natural sights and activities. The Gorge is home to
beautiful waterfalls, like 620-foot tall Multnomah
Falls, world class wind surfing, technical rock climbing and
enjoyable hiking trails. The Columbia River National Scenic
Highway runs through the western portion of the Gorge, providing
vistas and viewpoints from Troutdale, Oregon to Cascade Locks, Oregon.
The Gorge was created by large prehistoric floods, which cut through volcanic
basalt left behind by the volcanic eruptions of Mount Hood and
Mount Adams. Click on the thumbnails below to
