Salish Ponds Wetland Park

Salish Ponds Wetland Park is the hidden gem in Fairview, Oregon. You can drive on all sides of the Salish Ponds and not even realize it. Unless you've lived or have visited The Lodges at Lake Salish you may not have known the lake was there. Salish Ponds Wetland Park is the perfect escape without having to leave the city of Fairview.

Town to Town Trekking Along The Columbia River Gorge

Hiking is a hit in Oregon but so is sleeping in a bed at a hotel where you can enjoy a nice dinner with a glass of beer or wine (also a hit in Oregon). So how can visitors and Oregonians get the best of both worlds? Expanding existing hiking trails to allow a 250-mile loop through the Columbia Gorge scenic area would allow light backpacking hikes through the gorge by day and exploring a town then sleeping comfortably by night. Hiking from town to town along the Columbia River Gorge provides access to beautiful scenery, wildlife and nature but the hiker would have the option to stay at a hotel, shower and explore the town, breweries, restaurants and more. Read more about this town to town trekking vision below.

A 250-mile loop
Tkach is in a position to do something to realize this vision. She's the Gorge Towns to Trails project manager at Friends of the Columbia Gorge. The nonprofit is leading the charge for a grand 250-mile loop trail through the scenic area.
"These communities are in the midst of reinvigorating themselves through recreational tourism and tourism as a whole,” Tkach explained.
When selling the trail vision to affected towns, Tkach said her audiences most latch on to the prospect of more tourism dollars.
"Gorge Towns to Trails isn't just about recreation,” she said. “It's also about facilitating economic development in these towns that are surrounded by these public lands."
Tkach said town-to-town rambles with potential pauses at vineyards and viewpoints could bring a taste of Europe to the Northwest.

Most Beautiful Hike in The Columbia River Gorge

In Cascade Locks along The Columbia River Gorge is a place called Munra Point. Munra Point is is the ridge that you can see hikers walking on in the photo above. This hike is a bit vertical at times, unpaved and narrow but when you've made it to the top it'll be a moment you'll remember for the rest of your life. Hike with caution, a friend and enjoy the unique view of The Columbia River Gorge. Learn how to Hike Munra Point from the directions provided below.

To hike Munra Point, drive to the Bonneville Dam exit No. 40 on Interstate 84. Park at the bottom of the exit, or find a spot within the dam complex, the Tooth Rock trailhead or the small parking lot for Wahclella Falls.

From the Wahclella Falls trailhead, don't go toward the falls, rather hike across the historic highway bridge over Tanner Creek, then head into the woods on the well-marked Gorge Trail 400. Walk west 1.3 miles and watch for an unsigned path leading south into the forest. A long pink surveyors ribbon foretold of it last Sunday, about 100 feet before the path created by users left the Gorge Trail.

Follow the path uphill to the southeast. There will be a couple of other paths and lots of braids in the trail, but just keep going up to the southeast on the obvious corridor created by users.

The climb after leaving the Gorge Trail is 1,600 feet in 0.9 of a mile, which makes it very steep. This is a rock scramble, not a manicured trail hike.

Fishing at the Sandy River Delta

Photograph taken by: Lyn Topinka, 2015

The Columbia River Gorge calls to many fishermen and fisherwomen but not every fisher has the time to get to the Columbia River as often as they would like. The Sandy River Delta is a great location to get your fishing fix without having to travel as far out of the city. The Sandy River Delta is located off the I-84 just one exit past Troutdale. Learn more about what the Sandy River Delta has to offer besides fishing below.

Sandy River Delta is a multi-use recreation area open to a variety of recreation uses including equestrian use, hiking, biking, and hunting in the allowable area.
Within quick driving distance of Troutdale, Gresham and Portland, this is a great place to get out and enjoy nature. Great views, extensive trail system, bird blind and easy mountain biking make this site a quick retreat from the city.

Hiking the Latourell Falls Loop

Latourell Falls is one of the best waterfalls to visit for hiking along The Columbia River Gorge. The Latourell Falls Loop is 2.4 miles with an elevation gain of 520 feet creating a moderately difficult and very rewarding hike. This is a family friendly hike with dense forest that ends at the Upper Latourell Falls. Read details about hiking the Latourell Falls Loop below.

Latourell Falls is the closest of the Columbia Gorge waterfalls to Portland. It's just barely visible from the highway, but a short jaunt up a steep paved path leads to a clear viewpoint. A walk down a different path leads to the base of the falls. Latourell Falls, a 249' plunge, is beautiful in all seasons. In the summer, the water flow is very low, creating near misty conditions. In the winter, the splash freezes everywhere. The most interesting hike is a 2.4 mile loop visiting Latourell Falls, Upper Latourell Falls and Guy Talbot Park. Beginning from the Latourell Falls Trailhead, follow the paved viewpoint trail up to the viewpoint. From there, a dirt path leads away to the left, steeply around the basin. Look for side views of the falls, particularly in the winter, when the trees have lost their leaves. The trail climbs for about 1/3 of a mile to a bench at the top of the falls. There's a side trail here that drops down to an unimproved log that functions as a bridge of sorts. This side trail shortcuts the loop, shaving about a mile from the trip.

Multnomah Falls Lodge

The Multnomah Falls Lodge is a must-see for anyone traveling through Oregon. This amazing location hold many treasures aside from this beautiful lodge including the upscale Northwest style restaurant, the mighty waterfalls, hiking trails and the educational Visitor Center. Learn details about the wonderful waterfall that is the Multnomah Falls below.

Multnomah Falls plummets 620 feet in two major steps. The upper fall plunging 542 feet the lower fall 69 feet distinguishing Multnomah Falls as the highest waterfall in the state of Oregon and second highest in the nation.

The water flowing over Multnomah Falls water is supplied by natural underground springs that originate on Larch Mountain. In springtime, snowmelt additionally supplies the falls, greatly increasing the flow, width and intensity of the falls' powerful roaring sound. Multnomah Falls offers one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge to observe the geology exposed by floods over the centuries. The waters of the Missoula Floods enhanced the cliff and face of Multnomah Falls thousands of years ago when water eroded away the soft material, highlighting the cliff face. Five different flows of basalt of the Columbia River basalt group are visible in the face of the upper falls. Five additional flows of Columbia River basalt can be observed along Multnomah Creek from the trail above the falls. Multnomah Falls formed in two drops because of the more easily eroded zone at the base of the upper falls Lumber baron and philanthropist, Simon Benson donated the land that the falls sat upon, and funding for construction of the Benson Bridge. The bridge, constructed in 1914, allows visitors to cross over the lower falls and continue their paved trail journey to the viewing platform at the top. The platform offers dynamic views of the waterfall, Multnomah Falls Lodge, grounds, and the Columbia River Gorge. Benson also donated additional land that included Wahkeena Falls to the West.

Corbett Children's Theater

The Corbett Children's Theater presents You Can't Take It With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman starting April 30th. This performance is based on the classic 1950's comedy about life. The Corbett Children's Theater has moved to The Chapel located at 27132 SE Stark Street in Troudale Oregon. Learn more about the Corbett Children's Theater below.

Developing What do theatre kids learn? You might be surprised to learn that the primary things kids learn in a children’s theater are life skills like Teamwork, Problem Solving, Focus, and the Ability to Meet Deadlines. Sure they learn to sing, dance, and act, and those are useful skills, but the ability to think on your feet and confidently face a room full of people are skills that every individual can benefit from.

Think of it this way; in the theatre a performer is portraying a character who reacts differently from the way they naturally react to the same stimuli and they have to do it with a roomful of people watching them, while knowing the director is evaluating their performance and at the same time that they can see the chaos that is taking place backstage while...More About What CCT Youth Learn Coming Soon

Oregon's Best Waterfall for Spring

Terry Richard, of The Oregonian has provided an extraordinary list of Oregon's Best Waterfalls. The Columbia River Gorge holds an entire section in the list of the Best Waterfalls for Spring in Oregon. The Columbia River Gorge has a high concentration of waterfalls surround by natural beauty providing a surreal environment to those who visit. Read about each of the Best Waterfalls for Spring in The Columbia River Gorge below.

Latourell Falls: The first show stopper east of Portland is in Guy Talbot State Park at the west end of the gorge. Take exit No. 28 eastbound from Interstate 84 at Bridal Veil and drive three miles east on the Historic Columbia River Highway. Westbound traffic should use exit No. 35 and follow the scenic highway west. The lower falls, 249 feet of mist, can be viewed from the parking area, with a short paved trail leading up to the spray. An 80-foot upper falls can be viewed by following the trail 0.8 miles.

Multnomah Falls: Is there anyone in Oregon who hasn't heard of this one in the  heart of the Columbia Gorge. Multnomah Falls can actually bring traffic to a standstill on I-84, during peak viewing days/times while drivers maneuver to negotiate the left lane exit. The upper falls drops 542 feet and the lower 69 feet. Exit No. 31 from I-84 has a parking area between eastbound and westbound lanes. The falls can also be reached from historic Route 30. Or you can view the falls at 65 mph from the freeway, but the better plan is to join the crowds, bite the bullet and hike the paved trail for one mile to an overlook platform at the top of the falls.

Elowah Falls: The second highest named falls in the gorge is in John B. Yeon State Park, two miles east of the campground at Ainsworth State Park. Elowah Falls plunges 289 feet on lower McCord Creek. Take eastbound exit No. 35 from I-84 and drive two miles east on the frontage road. Westbound traffic should use exit No. 37, then cross south under the freeway and drive a short way east on the frontage road. Also known as McCord Creek Falls, the spectacular lower falls is connected with a 100-foot cascades higher up. The trail is well marked, though noisy from freeway traffic. Plan to hike 1.6 miles round trip to the lower falls and three miles for both falls. The parking lot also gives access to a new state bicycle trail that reaches nine miles east to Cascade Locks. 

Wahclella Falls: This gorgeous falls blasts out of a slot canyon in two sections, more than 100 feet high for both. Access is across I-84 from Bonneville Dam. Use exit No. 40 from I-84, then drive a few hundred yards to the parking lot on the southwest side of the freeway exit. The small parking lot can be jammed, so you may need to park in the first lot at Bonneville Dam or at Tooth Rock trailhead on the southeast side of the freeway. To reach the falls, hike upstream along Tanner Creek for one mile to the end of the trail. There is a high and low loop option along the way, but both end at the same place.

Tunnel Falls: Now we get serious. To see this waterfall, you need to hike up the Eagle Creek Trail near Bonneville. Use eastbound exit No. 41 (signed Eagle Creek), drive one mile to the end of the road and park. Westbound traffic should use Exit No. 40, then get on the freeway going east for a mile. The 100-foot Tunnel Falls is just one of many spectacular sights along the Eagle Creek Trail, one of the most popular hiking routes in the gorge, 5.9 miles from the trailhead. The trail is blasted through basalt behind the falls, thus giving the falls its name. You'll see Punchbowl Falls about two miles in on the trail, which is a turn-around destination for many hikers.

Columbia River 2nd Most Endangered Rivers in USA

A new report from American Rivers states the Columbia River is the second-most endangered river in the United States. The report explains the endangerment is due to outdated dam operations that prevent passage of many fish to the upper Columbia River. Fishing of our river contributes to many people's livelihood and some say without adding an Ecosystem Function to the Columbia River Treaty, the fish and wildlife in this river could dramatically decline. Read an excerpt from the new Report provided by American Rivers below.

The Threat
Dam and reservoir operations have fundamentally changed the Columbia River’s natural flows. Spring run-off is captured behind dams, thereby reducing flows and slowing the migration of young salmon headed out to sea, exposing them to predators in a series of slow-moving reservoirs. Reduced flows also harm the health of the Columbia River estuary by shrinking the size of the river’s freshwater plume— an area that hosts a variety of fish and bird species and accommodates the gradual adjustment of salmon to living in saltwater. Dams have also blocked salmon from thousands of miles in the upper Columbia River system, including tributaries such as the Spokane and Kettle rivers in Washington and numerous rivers in British Columbia. Releasing more water from behind Canadian and American dams in the spring can help restore healthier flows for salmon and other species, even in the face of more winter precipitation coming as rain rather than snow, coupled with an earlier snowmelt from climate change. Combined with improved dam operations, floodplain and estuary restoration projects, and building fish passage at currently impassable dams, the future for the Columbia River’s salmon, steelhead, and other species could be surprisingly bright. Conversely, failing to prioritize ecosystem health on par with hydropower production and flood control under the Columbia River Treaty could condemn the river and its fish and wildlife to further decline.
