Columbia River Gorge
National Scenic Area

This shot was taken from Lyle, Washington; Oregon is across the Columbia. The Columbia River divides the two states. The eastern edge of the Gorge receives significantly less precipitation than the other portions of the Gorge.

The central gorge area on a typical gray winter day. The Cascade Mountains rise steeply from the banks of the Columbia.

Spectacular Multnomah Falls are one of numerous waterfalls cascading down to the Columbia. Multnomah Falls is the largest waterfall in Oregon with a total drop of over 600 feet.

Multnomah Falls are a popular tourist destination and are less than a one hour drive from Oregon's largest city, Portland.

The Western edge of the Gorge. Be sure to take the scenic route east from Portland and not I-84.

This shot looks east into the central part of the Gorge. The movie Twilight had shots featuring the Gorge.
