Columbia River Gorge Sightseeing

If you are visiting Portland, no doubt you have a long list of things to do and places to see. A top contender for your time (regardless of whether you consider yourself to be a hiker) should be the Columbia River Gorge! Approximately 40 minutes east of downtown Portland by car, the gorge takes shape alongside the majestic Columbia River, forming dramatic cliffs and rock formations that provide the landscape and structure for its many amazing waterfalls.
