The Columbia River Gorge, a designated National Scenic Area, features a unique geological landscape shaped by volcanic activity and Ice Age floods. Stretching 80 miles, it includes the iconic Multnomah Falls as well as diverse ecosystems ranging from rainforests to semi-arid grasslands. This area not only serves as a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts but also boasts vibrant food experiences with its farms and vineyards promoting 'gorge-to-table' dining. Signature accommodations like Skamania Lodge and Sakura Ridge Farm & Lodge enhance the visit for guests seeking adventure or relaxation in this remarkable setting.
"The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is the largest and most ecologically diverse scenic area in the nation," says Krystyna Wolniakowski, the executive director of the Columbia River Gorge Commission.
As well as being an outdoorsmen's paradise thanks to its diversity of landscapes, gorge-goers will also find the area is a food haven, with farms, orchards, and an American Viticultural Area wine region that supports 'gorge-to-table' dining.
