Columbia Gorge Real Estate Blog

I took this picture of a beautiful sunrise over the Columbia River one day last week while crossing over the Hood River Bridge into Washington.

Beautiful scenery abounds in the Columbia River Gorge. These are some photos I've taken over the years that capture gorgeous glimpses of why the gorge is a National Scenic Area.
