Vista House on Crown Point on the Oregon Side of the Columbia River--- opened in 1918 on the site where the historic Columbia River Highway was dedicated just two years before. The highway was a marvel at the time-- A European style winding road for vehicle travel through the Columbia River Gorge from Portland to The Dalles. The building has marble floors and even stained glass windows. Unfortunately it is closed due to the pandemic. Things change dramatically as we go nearly 70 miles through the Gorge.

I expect the views are spectacular too. I hope it survives the pandemic.

Buena imagen y curioso el parecido (supongo que buscado) entre el edificio y el peñón al otro lado del río
