Let's go!
Before heading to the first waterfall, I would recommend stopping at the Vista House at Crown Point where you get fantastic views of the Gorge. This will also bring you on the right road - the Historic Columbia River Hwy. The pace here is certainly a bit slower, but it is worth it for our waterfall chase.
