Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway.
The Oneonta Gorge is a scenic gorge located in the Columbia River Gorge area of the American state of Oregon.
 The U.S. Forest Service has designated it as a botanical area because of the unique aquatic and woodland plants that grow there.
 Exposed walls of 25-million-year-old (Miocene epoch) basalt are home to a wide variety of ferns, mosses, hepatics and lichens, many of which grow only in the Columbia River Gorge.
 Oneonta Gorge has been described as "one of the true dramatic chasms in the state."
Latourell is an unincorporated community located in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States, on the Historic Columbia River Highway about eight miles (13 km) east of Troutdale and 5.5 miles (9 km) west of Multnomah Falls.
 Compared to its peak in the 1880s, it is now virtually a ghost town.
The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, located in The Dalles, Oregon, is the official interpretive center for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
 It features museums of local history and wildlife of the Columbia River Gorge.
Guy W. Talbot State Park is a state park in the Columbia River Gorge, near Troutdale, Oregon, United States.
 Although the main feature of the park is Latourell Falls, the parkland stretches west to the Crown Point State Scenic Corridor.
 Here the Historic Columbia River Highway descends from Crown Point via the Figure-Eight Loops, a series of horseshoe curves that "develop distance" and thus keep the grade to a minimum.
Greenleaf Peak is a mountain in the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Washington, located on the north side of the Columbia River near Table Mountain, in the Columbia River Gorge.
 The peak lies within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area near Bonneville Dam.
 It is 3424 ft in elevation.
 Botanist David Douglas climbed to the summit in September 1825, making this the first recorded mountain ascent in what is now Washington state.
Punch Bowl Falls is a waterfall on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Oregon, United States.
 Eagle Creek drains into the Columbia River, with its outlet on the Columbia River Gorge in Multnomah County.
The Historic Columbia River Highway is an approximately 75 mi scenic highway in the U.S. state of Oregon between Troutdale and The Dalles, built through the Columbia River Gorge between 1913 and 1922.
 As the first planned scenic roadway in the United States, it has been recognized in numerous ways, including a listing on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark, designation as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers, and considered a "destination unto itself" as an All-American Road by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation.
 The historic roadway was bypassed by the present Columbia River Highway No. 2 (Interstate 84) from the 1930s to the 1950s, leaving behind the old two-lane road.
 The road is now mostly owned and maintained by the state through the Oregon Department of Transportation as the Historic Columbia River Highway No. 100 (still partially marked as U.S. Route 30; see Oregon highways and routes) or the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail.
In the first decade of the 2000s, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs (a group of Indian tribes in the U.S. state of Oregon) sought to build a casino in the Columbia River Gorge.
 They ended their pursuit of the project in 2013.
 They considered various sites, as early as 1999; the most extensive plan called for a 60 acre facility with 250 hotel rooms in Cascade Locks, Oregon.
 The proposed site is within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, and adjacent to a federally designated wilderness area, but within the city limits of Cascade Locks.
 (The Columbia River National Scenic Area specifically exempts economic development projects within city limits and supports such growth for cities on both sides of the Columbia River).
Vista House is a museum at Crown Point in Multnomah County, Oregon, that also serves as a memorial to Oregon pioneers and as a comfort station for travelers on the Historic Columbia River Highway.
 The site, on a rocky promontory, is 733 ft above the Columbia River on the south side of the Columbia River Gorge.
 The building shows great sensitivity to its site in the Columbia River Gorge near Corbett, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
