Columbia River is one of the big waterways of the world. Rising in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, it flows through the states of Washington and Oregon, draining an immense area. The matchless scenery along its entire length is wild and imposing reaching the climax of picturesque grandeur when it cuts the Cascade Mountain Range, forming what is known as the Columbia River Gorge, a veritable wonder land. Towering peaks, pinnacles, cathedral shaped rocks and innumerable water falls line both shores for many miles making it the mecca of all tourists. |
