Did leaf-peeping across the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon today, including stopping by several waterfalls. The Gorge is a river canyon that runs about 80 miles long, up to 4,000 miles deep, in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
Included visiting a generations-old eatery nestled next to a beautiful park. Very Portland-like — indoor and outdoor seating, hipster music and vibe, including ice cream sundaes dressed to look like the forest floor. There were decorative meringue “mushrooms,” for instance. They served tasty meals, too, as well as dozens of microbrews.
Loads of people brought their pooches. Oregon is happily more dog friendly than many other parts of the U.S.
