The Dalles is located about 80 miles east of Portland in Wasco County. The Dalles is one of Oregon's most historical cities known as the town at the end of the Oregon Trail. The Dalles was first incorporated by the Oregon Territorial Government in 1857 as "Dalles City" and was made the county seat which it remains to this day. The downtown area in The Dalles is a registered Historic District featuring architecture from the late 1800's and early 1900's. The population of The Dalles was 12,175 at last census.  The City provides services to over 70,000 residents of Wasco, Sherman and Hood River counties in Oregon and Klickitat and Skamania counties in Washington. The climate in The Dalles is high desert with only about 14" per year of precipitation.  Sweet cherries are the major agricultural product in The Dalles with over 6,000 acres of sweet cherry trees growing around the city. The annual "Cherry Days" festival is a favorite of many. 

Here are some pictures of The Dalles I took today from the overlook at Sorosis Park. The one on the left is looking west on the Columbia River and the picture on the right is looking east on the Columbia River.
