Stepping into Night at the Historic Columbia River Highway

The Columbia River Gorge is clearly one of the scenic wonders on earth.

With the Columbia River we find an unbelievably beautiful river that is so powerful it has actually cut a waterfall-lined gorge right through the middle of the Cascades mountain range. To help that sink in, that's basically the equivalent of a river cutting a gorge right through and across the continental divide of the Rockies. I know of no other river on the planet that has accomplished a similar feat.
