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.

Crown Point and Vista House are in close proximity and offer great views of the Columbia River.

The Vista House was built in 1916 at the same time as Highway 30 (which is now the historic Columbia River Gorge Highway and the only way to reach Crown Point). The building was designed as a place for refreshment and enjoyment of the Columbia Gorge.

The octagonal building with its green ceramic tile roof houses a museum, a gift shop and an interpretive exhibition of historical and geological landmarks in the canyon.
