The summit of the Tom McCall Preserve is a wonderful place for a picnic lunch as you look out over the Columbia River plateau. Views of Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood as well as wildflowers (which peak in late May / early June) offer photo opportunities. Turkey vultures and bald eagles soar in the skies above the gorge. The winding road at Rowena Crest is another feature to see. Keep your eyes open for poison oak and rattlesnakes which are prevalent in the area.
