A picture perfect autumn day here in Oregon. All the trees are at their peak of color, the sky was clear and blue, and the river was calm. That is I-84 in the photo which travels from Portland, Oregon to Echo, Utah. The I-84 runs adjacent to the Columbia River for over 80 miles. I am shooting from Crown Point which overlooks the river with great views to the east and west.

NOTE: My other posted pictures of The Columbia River...

Simon Benson was a lumber magnate, philanthropist, and one of the principal promoters of the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway. Located one mile west of Multnomah Falls on I-84 at milepost 30 , picnickers love this park; there's even a disc golf course and a reservable shelter for groups.

Try your luck catching some of the thousands of rainbow trout stocked each month into the lake between March and October. This is a non-motorboat lake, (no boat launch) so it's perfect for rowboats and swimmers.

When the trees start changing color in the fall you can get some great reflection shots. The Columbia River is just across the highway, or further to the left of this image.
