The Gorge
The spectacular Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area lies only 30 minutes to the east. Besides a worldwide reputation as a windsurfing paradise, the Gorge provides the backdrop for everything from hiking and biking to fishing and boating. And no trip to the Gorge is complete without waterfall gazing. At the Gorge, there are dozens to choose from, with Multnomah Falls topping the list at a vertigo-inducing 600-feet. Climb to the top!
