Visited Elowah Falls on a rainy Oregon day! #WaterfallWednesday #ColumbiaGorge #OregonSunshine

Everything is covered in a thick layer of ice. It's dripping and making cute little icicles, which I'm hoping don't become giant daggers. #PDX #ColumbiaGorge

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1826:
"We Embarked at 6.15 am and continued our Descent of the Columbia; for about a League below the Cascades there is a very strong current with rapids. The River branches off into several channels formed by Islands; for about 6 Leagues below the Cascades the River is bounded by a range of High Hills, densely Wooded, their faces in some places being perpendicular with pretty Cascades descending some hundred feet. #ColumbiaGorge #History #WAHistory #Bookstodon
