Historic Columbia River Highway (The Columbia River Gorge)
The highway was dedicated in 1916. With intricate stonework, graceful bridges, access to numerous waterfalls and hiking trails, it was heralded in its day as one of the greatest engineering feats of the modeern age. Clinging to cliffsides, the picturesque twisting two-lane highway reaches back past cascading waterfalls, roams out on sheer outcrops for breathtaking views of the Columbia River. This is the most beautiful historic road we have been on. The beauty is undescribeable.
