Mosier is a charming small town along the beautiful Columbia River, surrounded by stunning basalt cliffs. There are lovely restaurants, a cozy coffee shop and a small local market.

There are two punchbowl falls in the area, but this one is not as steep and much more accessible. The "punchbowl" collects the strong, short waterfall and swirls and churns the water. The parking lot is only a 0.2-minute nature walk from the trailhead. The Punchbowl Falls County Park is 103 acres in size, and the property has been saved for the public and trails built by volunteers.

The Mt. Hood Highway goes all the way from Portland, around the south and east sides of Mt. Hood, and ends near the Colombia River in the town of Hood River.

Oregon has a lot of concrete arch bridges, and many are like this one named Tucker Bridge. They were designed by engineer Conde McCullough, who focused on the aesthetics of bridge design. Tucker Bridge has not been changed much over the years and still has its original railings.

Ruthton County Park is just above a point jutting into the Columbia River. It was created by ancient lava from a nearby Intracanyon volcano, or possibly from the Quaternary Underwood Mountain volcano across the river. There is a lookout point here, and if you get back on the US 30 heading west and make the next right, you can get to Ruthton Point.

Wah Gwin Gwin Falls is also known as Lullaby Falls, or in the Native language, the Place of Rushing Waters. It is technically located on the grounds of the Columbia Gorge Hotel and is easy to find just off exit 62. It has a height of 207 feet and flows into the Colombia River gorge.

The Gorge White House is a winery that has hard cider, craft cider, a farm fresh food fart, a fruit stand, U-Pick fruit and flowers, mountain views, and picnic bench-style outdoor seating. It is on over 30 acres of orchard. Visitors do not need a reservation or dress code. Grab some artisanal farm-fresh food from the food cart or Hard Ciders & Wines.

About 50 feet off the highway, the pavement takes riders to an overlook of the Memaloose Hills, called the Memaloose Lookout. Memaloose Overlook has a viewpoint of Memaloose Island and is a great photo opportunity, especially on a clear day.
