Columbia River Gorge
The
Columbia River Gorge
is a
canyon
of the
Columbia River
in the
Pacific Northwest
of the
United States
. Up to deep, the canyon stretches for over as the river winds westward through the
Cascade Range
forming the boundary between the State of
Washington
to the north and
Oregon
to the south. Extending roughly from the confluence of the Columbia with the
Deschutes River
down to eastern reaches of the
Portland metropolitan area
, the
water gap
furnishes the only navigable route through the Cascades and the only water connection between the
Columbia River Plateau
and the
Pacific Ocean
.
