Waterfalls of the Columbia Gorge






We have crossed the Columbia River several times on this trip. Where it forms the border between Washington and Oregon, it forms a deep gorge (4,000 ft) left by an Ice Age melt. The scenic Hwy 30 passes through a series of waterfalls that are year round because they are spring fed. How beautiful they were!!! We kept driving and circled around Mt. Hood on the same day. By the time we got there, it was covered in clouds. By 3:00 PM it started raining and rained until 9:00 AM the next day without stopping. Parts of OR and WA get so much rain. We have been lucky. This was our first experience with it.
