Greshamのおすすめライド

Boring, Oregon has become somewhat famous, or infamous, depending on how you look at it. In recent years it has become well known due to its humorous take on its name and partnering with Dull, Scotland as "sister cities" in order to promote tourism to both locations.

The falls and the short trail that leads to its base both feel as if they have been lost to time. There is parking near the bridge of the historic highway from which you can look down upon the waterfall, and the stone trail to the falls is in good condition but overgrown with moss, lending a mystical feel.

Here's a perfect spot to take a break, park your bike, and walk up the trail for an excellent view of both Lower and Upper Multnomah Falls.

While crossing over this bridge offers a great experience, where you can also closely observe the treetops, the best way to appreciate this bridge's structure is from below. You can do this by taking the walking trail of Latourell Falls Trail, which starts from the parking area near the bridge.

Dabney State Recreation Area is a 138-acre park along the Sandy River. This area is a popular water recreation spot that has a sandy beach.

Crown Point sits at 693 feet above the Columbia River and is where visitors can see the Vista House and use binoculars for the overlook. This area was designed by Edgar M. Lazarus, who designed the building in memory of the settlers of the Oregon Trail. Updated Hours and potential closures due to weather are posted at vistahouse.com or by calling (503) 344-1368

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.
