The Columbia River Gorge
is located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
The mighty Columbia River threads
it way between the borders of Oregon and Washington. The Columbia
River Gorge is a premier Pacific Northwest outdoor playground.
The Gorge functions like a wind tunnel, generating
30-knot winds as pressure differentials in weather east and
west of the Cascades
find an outlet in the deep cut of the Gorge. Windsurfers enjoy
the swells created by the wind. Hiking to the Gorge's waterfalls
is a classic day trip, and in late fall and early spring, when
the heights
of the Cascades are buried beneath deep snow, the Gorge is the
number-one option for area hikers and mountain bikers. Downhill
snow skiers
enjoy Mt. Hood while cross-country skiers choose between Mt.
Hood, Oregon and the more isolated trails at Mt. Adams, Washington.
Choices abound to live and play in the Columbia River Gorge.
