The Columbia River Gorge


 We left the Mt. Hood National Forest and drove back to I – 84 to Hood River and then through the Columbia River Gorge.  We couldn't linger long as we needed to get to Springfield in the Willamette Valley of central Oregon to get solar panels installed on the RV. But since the Gorge was so close, we didn’t want to miss seeing it.
The Columbia River and the volcanic activity in this area have made a beautiful river canyon filled with waterfalls. We traveled along Historic Hwy 30, a gorgeous scenic highway and stopped at numerous views and waterfalls along the way. We have to travel back later in the summer to spend more time in this area and in Portland!
