Columbia River Gorge Oregon

 

At Portland, Oregon we followed the

Columbia River Gorge east.

 

 

In the USA, the river drops from the Cascade Mountains at 4,000 ft. to

sea level at the Pacific ocean. 

 

The river travels 80 miles between the states of

Washington and Oregon. 

 

Houseboats in the urban areas of the river near Portland.

 

 



From green forests to dry grasslands.

 



The large river supports barge traffic.

 



At times the river seems to be a lake.
