The Columbia River Plateau was created by a series of basalt flows.  The flows covered 164,000 square kilometers — portions of northeast Oregon, southwest Washington and western Idaho.

The Columbia River Gorge is a canyon of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Up to 4,000 feet (1,300Port m)C deep, the canyon stretches for over 80 miles (130 km) as the river winds from westward through the Cascade Range forming the boundary between the State of Washington to the north and Oregon to the south. The Columbia Gorge American Viticultural Area is located in both states. The Columbia River Gorge is a spectacular river canyon cutting the only sea-level route through the Cascade Mountain Range.

In addition to its natural beauty, the gorge also provides a critical transportation corridor and one of the most popular recreational locations in the Pacific Northwest. Atmospheric pressure differentials east and west of the Cascades create a wind tunnel effect in the deep cut of the gorge, generating 35 mph (56 km/h) winds that make it one of the finest and best-known windsurfing and kiteboarding locations in the world. The hatchery, located on the Washington side of the river near Hood River is one of the most popular places to windsurf.

The gorge also contains the greatest concentration of waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest, with over 77 waterfalls on the Oregon side of the gorge alone. Many are along the Columbia River Highway, including the notable Multnomah Falls, which, at 620 feet (188 m), is often claimed to be the second tallest year-round waterfall in the United States.  Learn more
