Columbia River Gorge

The Columbia River Gorge, a natural wonder of the Pacific Northwest, channels the powerful Columbia River through the Cascade Range to the Pacific Ocean, forming much of the border between Oregon and Washington. This dramatic landscape, with its many waterfalls, played a significant role in early U.S. history as the final stretch of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805. Today, visitors can explore the area’s scenic trails, enjoy world-class windsurfing, and savor the offerings of local vineyards.
