About Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area
The Columbia River Gorge is a long canyon carved by the Columbia River as it crosses the Cascade Range between Washington and Oregon. Its cliffs, spires, and ridges rise against nearby Cascade peaks. The Forest Service manages the Scenic Area, which also serves as a major transportation corridor and home to communities across six counties. Climate differs sharply across it: the west end has lush conifer forests, while the east end has open grasslands. Visitors can use recreation passes, mobile maps, and the Forest Service app to plan trips.
