Columbia River Gorge, looking east from Crown Point (far right: Vista House)

access tunnel to the Multnomah Falls Lodge and its great Sunday brunch
(incidentally, this is also the access to the Falls themselves...)
|
Multnomah Falls, Oregon (620 feet high)
|
petroglyphs in Skamania County, Washington
retrieved before flooding as a dam was built on the Columbia river near The Dalles in the 1950s
|
the surrounding landscape at that point
|
little critters, still to be identified
(the local grass-cutting ranger hadn't even seen them)
|
landscape on Washington side as seen from I-84
