EXPLORE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE<br />
>><br />
A waterman’s paradise, lovers of windsurfing,<br />
sailing, stand-up paddling and all<br />
things water-oriented find happiness in<br />
the Columbia River Gorge. Jutting cliffs,<br />
enormous waterfalls and miles of fruit<br />
trees line the Columbia River, which marks<br />
the Washington-Oregon border. Closer<br />
to Portland, wet climate creates verdant<br />
rainforest conditions. Farther east along<br />
the river, high desert landscape stretches<br />
for miles. Historic tours of Native American<br />
life and Lewis & Clark’s adventures can<br />
keep anyone exploring for hours. Inland,<br />
sweet and juicy, delectable fruits ripen at<br />
the various “fruit loops,” with acres of orchards<br />
and more than two dozen wineries.<br />
In the many riverfront towns, discover<br />
the gems in locally owned shops, microbreweries<br />
and restaurants.<br />
