Crown Point promontory was the ideal site to view the sunset over the Columbia River; however, tonight clouds obscured the sun.  Located 733 feet above the river, the view is spectacular..  Atop the summit is Vista House built as a rest stop in 1918 for travelers on the old Columbia River Gorge Highway.

The Columbia River is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest.  My hotel faces the river with Washington State in view across the river.  Dinner tonight was at Salty's on the river, nestled between the various yacht clubs.
