From the 225 meter high, well-known Crown Point you have a great view of the Columbia River Gorge. The gorge extends from The Dalles to here and serves as the border between the states of Washington and Oregon. The river has carved deep into the volcanic rock over thousands of years. The dangerous rapids were defused by dams.

Originally nicknamed as "The Million Dollar Toilet," this rest stop provided travellers with a much need rest stop along the highway, albeit at a great cost to construct in the early part of the twentieth century.
