NO. 11: COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE WILDFLOWERS
They are nature's fireworks display, but instead of exploding in the air, they come up through the ground.
Blooms of wildflowers that arrive with spring provide a great reason to get outdoors, and few places in the Pacific Northwest offer better showcase than the eastern side of the Columbia River Gorge.

On a trip last spring, I explored five of the best places to enjoy these wildflowers, including the Mosier Plateau, Rowena Crest / Tom McCall Preserve, Memaloose Hills, Catherine Creek and Columbia Hills State Park.
