Located just east of Portland, the Columbia River Gorge is one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. It is a wide canyon up to 4000 feet deep, cut by the glacial Lake Missoula floods in the last ice age. Home to the highest concentration of waterfalls in the United States, it is perhaps best known as a land of waterfalls. The most famous of these waterfalls is Multnomah Falls, a 620 foot high waterfall which tumbles over the cliffs in two distinct tiers. It is also home to sweeping vistas, the mighty Columbia River, and the famous Vista House at Crown Point and the Maryhill Stonehenge Memorial. It forms the boundary between Washington to the north and Oregon to the south, with the mighty Columbia River separating the two states.
