Wonders of the Columbia Gorge

Living in the Gorge and still astounded by the magic of this place.
- Rainbows riding the highway right next to the car
- Wonderfully warm and welcoming people
- Ever-changing beauty right outside our door
- Activities that may take much longer than our lifetime to explore
Hiking, XC skiing, snowshoeing, biking, kayaking, fishing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, sailing, swimming, wineries, food, brew pubs, incredible arts and artisans, unique shops, history, ancient cultures, incomparable wayfaring, singular geology...and all within 1 hour of a dynamic major city and international airport.
I thought I'd use this blogspot to share some of our visual delights.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy discovering them.
