The Best of Oregon

We drove up the side of the cascades, through the Columbia River Gorge, and down the Oregon Coast. Stunning stuff. The bad news is my SLR body failed as we reached the most spectacular stuff on the southern coast.

Cove Palisades State Park, where three rivers and their gorges join and a reservoir has been formed. As close as Oregon gets to Lake Powell.
