Crown Point State Scenic Corridor

A short drive east of Portland leads to the Crown Point State Scenic Corridor, a 693-foot (211-meter) promontory offering some of the most spectacular views of the Columbia River Gorge. At the summit, the Vista House stands as a beacon, its interpretive displays providing insights into the geological and historical significance of the Gorge. Visitors can explore the gift shops and take in panoramic vistas that stretch across the landscape. The combination of natural beauty and informative exhibits makes this a memorable stop for anyone traveling through the area.
