Rob McMonigal's photos with the keyword: Columbia River Gorge

I stepped back a little bit and took a picture looking up the Columbia as it snakes through the gorge, using the old guardrail to help frame things a bit.

This area is just littered with photogenic rocks.

Blue sky, distant mountains, rolling plains and some evergreens. The stuff songs are made of, right?

Another look at the Columbia from Vista Point, this time with the newer wall work and lights for night time driving. I've never been there in the evening, and given the winding roads, I'm not so sure I'd want to try. But I bet sunset is amazing...

A slightly tighter focus on the Columbia. There's a dam way way far out just beyond view.

I was playing with my phone's features when the wheeled trolly car that takes people through the scenic route passed so I had to make do. Just pretend it's *really* Sunny!

Visible from I-84, this iconic landmark alongside scenic US 30 basically opens the way to the many falls located along the route if you travel west to east. Built in 1918 to provide travelers with a place to stop and admire the view. It's hard to believe this winding road is how you got from Portland to Pittsburgh, way back when.
