Columbia River
Crown Point

Crown Point may indeed be the crowning jewel along the Columbia River Scenic Highway.  The road winds its way up to, then curves around, this lofty perch above the river.  Right in the middle, there's an old visitor's center, which was in the middle of remodeling during my visit in September, 2004.  I think that's why I didn't take a picture of it.

Above is the view looking back east.

Stonework along the side of the road.

West of here, the Columbia River Gorge isn't as deep.  Portland isn't far away.

From here, I jumped back on I-84, then I-205 North, which leads to I-5.

Tip: At Crown Point, I ran out of digital memory for my camera.  Fortunately I stopped and purchased more before I crossed back into Washington.  Since Oregon doesn't have a sales tax, I saved a few bucks.

	I re-visited this area in 2006, on my Northern Rockies trip.  Check out Crown Point, Multnomah Falls, and Sheppard's Dell.
