Historic Columbia River Highway
In early April a friend and I took a trip to Portland, Oregon. We had no real plan so my family took us to the Historic Columbia River Highway, to see the gorgeous waterfalls.
The first stage of the journey was the stunning lookout at the Portland’s Women Forum of the Columbia River and the gorge. The cascading mountains along the water, even on a grey day, was breathtaking. Everything is already so green from the mild winter, and the trees lining the hills were beautiful.
The second stop was the the Vista House at Crown Point. I saw the building at the first lookout and was immediately drawn to its beauty. Seeing it up close was even better. I love old buildings, and seeing an elegant structure in the middle of a stunning landscape is everything.
When you live in Vancouver you do a lot of nature things, and going to Portland, we never thought to look up nature activities. Once we got to the edge of the lookout and saw the view, we were so thankful they brought us.
If you have a car, the Historic Columbia River Highway is a must.
The rest of this week will be posts from my incredible trip to Portland, Oregon.
