The Portland Women’s Forum State Scenic Viewpoint and the Vista House offer incredible views of the Columbia River Gorge. While the Women’s Forum Viewpoint allows for a east-facing view (where you can see the Vista House as pictured here), the views from the Vista House are panoramic. On a clear day, you can see for miles. On a foggy, rainy day, visibility can shift from minute to minute! Both spots can be incredibly windy (even on a bright, warm day), so be prepared for that. The Portland Women’s Forum State Scenic Viewpoint is free and there are no facilities (other than maybe a picnic table or two). The Vista House (about 3 minutes down the road) has an informational center, restrooms, a gift shop, and cafe. However, they can have seasonal and/or limited hours, as well as can close due to weather, so be sure to look here ahead of time. If the building is closed, there are no facilities available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/8c14cc77-2514-4f2e-baee-44c9ff42e2db/DSC_6943.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - The Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks, OR Featured in the well-known movies, Twilight and Wild, the Bridge of the Gods is an iconic spot connecting Cascade Locks, OR with Washington. This toll bridge has an interesting history and can be seen from a few different spots. In Cascade Locks, you can park underneath the bridge. You can also drive to Cascade Locks Marine Park and walk to Thunder Island (where this photo was taken), for a totally different perspective. If you pay the toll, you can cross the bridge (drive slowly, as this bridge is also for pedestrians and bikers), there is a small parking lot on the right where you can also get a view of the bridge (this view is more limited than on the Oregon side). The two viewpoints on either side of the bridge are free and there are no facilities. There is a parking fee and available facilities at Marine Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/66b672d7-d55e-4b02-9917-e30c132dcf81/Beacon+Rock+Washington.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - Beacon Rock in Skamania, WA Beacon Rock is both a scenic spot and a great option for those wanting a bit of a challenge. At around 850 ft tall, Beacon Rock is truly a beacon along the Washington side of the Gorge. It rises up alongside the river, seemingly out of nowhere. Visitors can hike to the top of the rock by following a trail built into the side of the rock. While it will take 50+ switchbacks to make it to the top, the views are worth it the whole way up. There are fees to park at Beacon Rock State Park, or you can buy an annual pass. There are numerous other trails, state parks, informational sites, campgrounds, etc. nearby. *Beacon Rock may close for repairs in 2026-2027, check their site for details! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/150ccd95-5912-4ac6-8415-d933614c2b8c/Rowena+Crest+Viewpoint+and+Tom+McCall.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - Rowena Crest and Tom McCall Nature Preserve near Mosier, OR These two spots are next door to each other! The Rowena Crest Overlook sits atop a bluff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. From the viewpoint, you can also see the Rowena Loops (pictured here). The Tom McCall Nature Preserve trailhead is here as well. In the Spring, this is one of the best spots in the Gorge for wildflowers. Balsamroot, lupine, and more bloom across the wide open fields and it is a truly stunning view. There are no parking fees here, nor are there any facilities. In the spring, this area can get very busy, so plan ahead! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/a7feae35-9c07-4a9b-baaf-bbee1884351c/Cape+Horn.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - Cape Horn Viewpoint If you drive nine miles east of Washougal, WA, you will come across a spot with gorgeous views of the Gorge. The Cape Horn viewpoint (not to be confused with the Cape Horn trail) is just a narrow pullout on the two-lane road overlooking the gorge. The pull out is on the right side of the road if you are going East. Be very cautious when parking and getting in/out of your car. If you are heading West, you will want to drive past the overlook and turn around to then be able to park on the right side of the road. This is a quick stop, but worth it for the incredible views! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/d810df22-5d83-4289-ab35-3dda59e2c3a1/Gorgefog.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - Cliffs near Ainsworth State Park One of my favorite things to do in the Gorge is watch the fog drift between the cliffs, particularly if it’s snowed recently. This photo was taken from the side of the road near Ainsworth State Park, but there are dozens of other places to go where you can get a vantage point of the highest wall of the Gorge (Bonneville Dam and Rooster Rock are two of my other favorites!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/45d1392b-bac8-439b-9e80-58f52a33a819/DSC_8704.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - Schreiner Farms in Lyle, WA Across from The Dalles, on the WA side of the river, sits a tiny, unique farm and ranch. Schreiner Farms is an unexpected short side quest for most visitors! They have zebras, giraffes, bison, and more. Visitors stay in their cars and drive the ¼ mile road to look at the exotic animals. Time it right like I did (meaning clear skies and the animals are in the exact right position), and you can get a photo of a zebra in front of Mt Hood from the comfort of your vehicle. More often than not, you’ll be looking at the animals through fences, but it’s still a very unique Gorge experience! Schreiner Farms is open from 9 am to dusk daily. While there is no cost associated, if they have a donation option available, I highly recommend giving a few dollars. You must stay in your vehicle the entire time and the road is pretty narrow at a few spots. If you are in the area, definitely swing by! If you are not nearby, save this spot for when you are as it is quick! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/148a4794-b8c1-4adc-b8e1-b2c93289818a/DSC_7872.jpg Blog - 7 Scenic Spots in the Gorge That Aren’t Waterfalls - A few final words! The Columbia River Gorge is one of the PNW’s most beloved gems. Whether driving through an exotic animal farm, or hiking Beacon Rock, or pulled over gawking at the fog… please take care of this beautiful place. Leave no trace. Leave it better than you found it. If there are other spots you think should be added to this list, let me know! Happy exploring!

There is an expansive viewpoint close to the parking lot, a series of easy trails that will take you to even more stunning views, and a few lush gardens to explore. Shore Acres is also nestled in between Sunset Bay, the Simpson Reef Overlook, and Cape Arago, so there is no shortage of views! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/15539eab-80fa-4043-97ec-5e2bff61423a/TSOC32.jpg Blog - Take the Scenic Route: 7 Stops Between Coos Bay and Brookings - Face Rock Face Rock is one of those places that just doesn’t feel real. Stand directly in front of the famous sea stack and you’ll see the profile of a face looking up at the sky. Surrounding Face Rock are dozens of other craggy sea stacks, a few rock arches, and crashing waves. Whether taking it in from the high-up viewpoints or from along the shoreline, this spot is worth your time. If you have a chance to watch a sunset here, don’t skip it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/f5da5a25-a0e3-4ffa-a219-3b5128b5de8e/TSOC13.jpg Blog - Take the Scenic Route: 7 Stops Between Coos Bay and Brookings - Sisters Rock Less busy than much of the surrounding area, Sister’s Rock is an underrated area South of Port Orford. Even from the parking lot, the views are gorgeous, but there is also a trail that will take you down to the rocks themselves. If you are limited on time, this can be a very quick stop that is worth your time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/3899b4e4-ba36-4bb8-b3a9-914a8734cb46/SOC_.jpg Blog - Take the Scenic Route: 7 Stops Between Coos Bay and Brookings - Meyers Creek Beach Meyers Creek Beach is home to some of the most iconic views along the coast. There are a few informal highway pull-outs to choose from, each with their own beach access points. If you have time and the tide is low, take some time to walk down to the beach because wandering between the sea stacks is a really special experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/7429f039-ad47-4b5a-a98a-1e24e7c34738/DSC_0696.jpg Blog - Take the Scenic Route: 7 Stops Between Coos Bay and Brookings - Arch Rock One of many beautiful stops with the Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor, Arch Rock is worth exploring! There is a short loop trail that will take you to the Arch Rock viewpoint, as well a few other beautiful views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/a81fe610-61c1-4513-890e-1879877d6521/TSOC25.jpg Blog - Take the Scenic Route: 7 Stops Between Coos Bay and Brookings - Natural Bridges Also in the Samuel H Boardman Scenic Corridor, Natural Bridges is one the most famous spots along the Southern Oregon Coast. From the designated viewpoint, you’ll get a chance to the see waves crashing underneath the naturally-formed stone bridges hovering over the Pacific Ocean. Note: going off trail in this area is very dangerous- be safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/f470a2a2-d18c-4468-8401-4a83201ee344/TSOC3.jpg Blog - Take the Scenic Route: 7 Stops Between Coos Bay and Brookings - Harris Beach Harris Beach is a large state park on the North end of Brookings. After parking, be sure to walk down to the beach to explore the sandy stretch of coastline dotted with sea stacks. This can be a busy area, but its a beautiful spot! https://somewherenorthwest.com/blog/mount-rainier-when-the-mountain-isnt-out monthly 0.5 2026-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/6d3d676d-20d8-495f-ab06-18b3ee4fe980/mtrainiertravel.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1791515962292-I7GTG294FM7VGBWQ9Y6V/Mount+Rainier+2.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out - Waterfalls There are numerous waterfalls within the park that are especially beautiful on a misty, rainy day. Two of the easiest to get to are Christine Falls and Narada Falls. Christine Falls has a very small parking lot, so approach slowly and be prepared for pedestrians. After parking, follow the very short trail to the viewpoint (maybe a 2-3 minute walk tops). From the viewpoint, you’ll get a gorgeous view of the falls underneath the bridge. Narada Falls is another beautiful waterfall requiring a .2 mile hike (.4 round trip) that can be steep at times. While it’s not long, it can get your heart rate going on the way back to the parking lot. In cold weather, the viewpoint can get icy so be careful! Myrtle Falls is one of the more famous waterfalls in the park, partly because of the view of the mountain behind it. On a cloudy day, you may not be able to see the mountain and, depending on how thick the fog is, you may not be able to see the falls either. However, if you are nearby, willing to hike about a half mile from the parking lot, and you can see the falls, it is absolutely worth it! This area can also be incredibly icy, so approach with caution! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1791515960237-CJAR4FL4TCSAZW3Q1F1V/Mount+Rainier+4.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out - Rivers, Lakes, & Open Spaces When Mount Rainier is wrapped in clouds, rivers, lakes, and other wide open spaces take on a new personality. With the fog, wind, and rain, the view shifts minute to minute and this can make for some dramatic views. There aren’t specific places I’d recommend for this, but rather, I’d encourage you to keep an eye out for possibilities. This photo was taken right next to the road- no hiking required! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1791515964397-6IMAFPA0JNF5XHE28VYC/Mt+Rainier+9.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1791515964233-03U06YN2OIJ2H0NV94QM/Mount+Rainier+3.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1791515961359-5ZCJ7NMUTAM2LBSVXCR3/Mount+Rainier+1.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/12e823ca-c03a-4ac0-9d79-9237fa4fd6b4/Mt+Rainier+7.jpg Blog - In the Clouds: Mount Rainier When the Mountain Isn’t Out - Go For a Drive/Go Somewhere Close By While I love being in the fog and clouds, it can also be freezing cold and terribly windy, with rain going sideways… and when that happens, it might be time to just go for a drive. From the warmth of your car, you can still watch the fog travel across the valley. Or you can quickly hop out at a waterfall, and then get back in your car. Or you can spot a marmot sitting by the road and you get to watch while staying nice and dry. Once you’ve had your fill of the park, you could also head to Ashford or Packwood for restaurants, lodging, etc. https://somewherenorthwest.com/blog/fall-on-the-lewis-river monthly 0.5 2026-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1789275219531-76V699123RZYWIULZXIQ/WashingtonLewisriver3.jpg Blog - Chasing Fall Along the Lewis River https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1789275312804-UJLEDR364Q5Z8HEQ2N4C/WashingtonLewisriver4.jpg Blog - Chasing Fall Along the Lewis River https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/1789275225686-SQ2DXWD723OSR7SDE5Y9/WashingtonLewisRiver.jpg Blog - Chasing Fall Along the Lewis River https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/4184773a-8ad0-4517-994a-c4f483fb9b87/WashingtonLewisriver2.jpg Blog - Chasing Fall Along the Lewis River - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://somewherenorthwest.com/blog/beyond-cannon-beach-4-beautiful-stops-along-the-northern-oregon-coast monthly 0.5 2026-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/88f2e59d-b5ec-4c27-bca0-3ffbd7fedbc1/DSC_3527-2.jpg Blog - Beyond Cannon Beach: 4 Beautiful Stops Along the Northern Oregon Coast - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/affa9dc9-5e10-4d81-bcb0-d3c14b0166a5/AM+Bridge.jpg Blog - Beyond Cannon Beach: 4 Beautiful Stops Along the Northern Oregon Coast - Astoria- 45 Minutes North Astoria is a lovely little historic town that sits where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.

If you drive the historic Columbia River Highway (or grab a shuttle) between the Vista House and Ainsworth State Park, you’ll drive right by Latourell Falls, Wahkeena Falls, Bridal Veil, Multnomah Falls, and Horsetail Falls. There are many more waterfalls along the Columbia River (like Wahclella Falls-pictured left), it would be impossible to list them all here. Be sure to do your research and check road and trail conditions before you go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/edd7bc4e-799c-4288-9521-fbf26be627be/Oregonsilverfalls.jpg Blog - When One Waterfall Isn’t Enough - Silver Falls State Park Silver Falls State Park features a stunning collection of ten waterfalls.

The weather can vary greatly across the Olympic Peninsula so be sure to check road and trail conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/a59545b2-6b8c-41e2-9a94-0bbc12720f56/Oregonmckenzie.jpg Blog - When One Waterfall Isn’t Enough - McKenzie River Hiking to Koosah and Sahalie Falls makes for a perfect day! Located on the McKenzie river 40 minutes from Sisters, these falls sit on the same easy/moderate trail. You can hike the full loop to see the falls from both sides, make it an out and back hike, or drive to both falls and walk to each viewpoint. If you choose to hike, you’ll also get a chance to view the beautiful, deep blue water of the McKenzie River. During the winter and into Spring, this trail is often covered with deep snow, so plan ahead! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/09689637-da47-4664-a52a-14627bf267d6/Washingtonpanthrcreek.jpg Blog - When One Waterfall Isn’t Enough - Gifford Pinchot National Forest There are many waterfalls in this forest located in SW Washington. Exploring the Lewis River trail is a great day trip that can include multiple waterfalls. Another well-known waterfall duo is Falls Creek Falls and Panther Creek Falls. These falls are on two separate trails, but are located not far from each other. Falls Creek Falls sits at the end of a moderate 3.2 mile out and back trail (in the winter, you must hike to the trailhead making this trail 8ish miles- and you may need snowshoes, spikes, etc.) Panther Creek Falls is much shorter but just as beautiful. You can hike .3 miles to the upper viewpoint, or walk about a half mile more to the lower viewpoint (the lower viewpoint is down a somewhat steep trail). These trails get snowy in the winter, so do your research about road and trail conditions so you are prepared! https://somewherenorthwest.com/blog/the-prettiest-beach-on-the-oregon-coast monthly 0.5 2026-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a0109503919990a72e5192e/7429f039-ad47-4b5a-a98a-1e24e7c34738/DSC_0696.jpg Blog - In Search of the Prettiest Beach on the Oregon Coast - The Samuel H.
