Columbia River Gorge

[back] . Lois and I drove up the Columbia River Gorge during our recent visit to Washington and Oregon. I was particularly interested in seeing Bridge of the Gods, but that did not work out. Instead, we got the consolation prize of seeing a number of very beautiful waterfalls as well as taking a tour of the Bonneville Dam. Enjoy!
