A beautiful drive up to the top... Drive slowly
Quite the ride to get to this viewpoint along the Columbia River Gorge. But what a view from the top. We were there on a.bsry windy day and put on two jackets.each.

Beautiful but tiny bugs attacked
Gorgeous views, but almost as quickly as we got out of the car to snap some pics and moved towards the sign discussing the overlook (which looked like it had been shot at) there were hundreds of tiny bugs that descended upon me that were all over my back, hair and no matter how much I flicked them off they came back... I literally was running around the overlook trying to get hundreds of little bugs off me and ran back to the car in a fury once it seemed most were off. Don't know if they were bugs that bite, but wasn't taking the chance since I was covered in them Only because I was attacked did I down grade the rating.... views are gorgeous, but being attacked by bugs made it a VERY short visit

Magnificent Views
I’d heard about Rowen’s Crest, but not until you drive to it can you truly experience its magnificent views. We stopped in Mosier and got picnic food to enjoy on a bench at the Crest. Be sure to take time to see all the panoramas in every direction.

Unfortunately Affected by Wildfires
We were road tripping and unfortunately found ourselves in Oregon during the horrible wildfires on Saturday, 9/12. Since we were staying Hood River, we decided to take the 20 minute drive just to see the popular viewpoint. I can only imagine how gorgeous this area normally is.

A MUST DO site!
No trip to the Gorge is complete without coming here! Easy trailed hikes. Just a short drive from our hotel near the locks. Great place to fly your drone if you brought it with you! And this site is free!!
