A tip I have about this place
drive the historic columbia river highway built in the 1930s and stop at Chanticleer point. That is where I took this picture. Then continue on to Vista House and the falls. It is definitely worth the drive.

The last time I went to this place
July of 2006.
My first time, and I just loved the area. Beautiful scenery, laid back attitude, friendly (mostly) people. A great place to be.

The last time I went to this place
Flew into Pasco, WA last summer for work. After a morning of work in College Place, WA I drove to Pendleton, OR. From there headed west on I-84 all the way to Portland. Spend the night in Portland and worked the next day. That afternoon I followed the river all the way to Astoria.
Didn’t get a lot of time to stop and see the sights. However, the trek was quite worth it. I knew Eastern OR was dry from previous trips to Pasco and LaGrande. But it was much drier than I expected along the way. Of course it started to green up by the time I reached the Cascades and the Gorge Scenic Area.

Windsurfing
I learned to windsurf in a little lake near the gorge. I would like to say that I windsurfed in the gorge, but that would just be crazy talk b/c I could barely figure out what to do with my sail depending on the direction of the wind.
I don’t think I would make a good sailor.
