Columbia River Gorge

A drive through America’s largest National Scenic Area affords spectacular surprises around every corner. Follow the Historic Columbia River Highway to discover waterfalls crashing off basalt cliffs, fields of wildflowers and dramatic views of the Cascade Mountains. Explore quaint riverside towns along the way: Built in the shadow of the Bridge of the Gods, the historic town of Cascade Locks offers miles of scenic hiking trails and adrenaline-pumping water sports. Just a few miles east, at the confluence of the Columbia and Hood Rivers, the city of Hood River captivates outdoor enthusiasts and food-lovers alike. After a day of kitesurfing, hiking or mountain biking, enjoy farm-to-table dining and local craft brews.
