Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area: Essential Must-Sees

The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area spans over 80 miles, carving a deep canyon through the Cascade Mountains. This geological corridor contains the highest concentration of waterfalls in North America, including the iconic 620-foot Multnomah Falls. The area features diverse landscapes ranging from temperate rainforests to arid grasslands, alongside historic 20th-century engineering projects like the Vista House, Bonneville Dam, and the Bridge of the Gods, which connects Oregon and Washington.
