Description
The Columbia River Gorge is located in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. The mighty Columbia River threads it way between the borders of Oregon and Washington. The Columbia River Gorge is a premier Pacific Northwest outdoor playground. The Gorge functions like a wind tunnel, generating 30-knot winds as pressure differentials in weather east and west of the Cascades find an outlet in the deep cut of the Gorge. Windsurfers enjoy the swells created by the wind. Hiking to the Gorge's waterfalls is a classic day trip, and in late fall and early spring, when the heights of the Cascades are buried beneath deep snow, the Gorge is the number-one option for area hikers and mountain bikers. Downhill snow skiers enjoy Mt. Hood while cross-country skiers choose between Mt. Hood in Oregon and the more isolated trails at Mt. Adams in Washington. Choices abound to live and play in the Columbia River Gorge. Before making a Columbia Gorge real estate decision as a renter or an owner, we encourage you to spend a few minutes reading about the area. We have compiled comprehensive information about the Gorge and its many facets to help you select the area that suits your lifestyle, business and climate preference.
