Photographing the Columbia River Gorge in Spring

The Columbia River Gorge and corresponding scenic areas and monuments is one of the most varied and visually compelling natural locations in North America and it is an icon of the Pacific Northwest. Photographically, a visit to the “Gorge” is worth it any time of the year, although summer weekends can become notoriously overcrowded. As with so many locations, the height of spring and fall color are often the best for photography.

This spring I had the fortune to visit the Columbia Gorge two times and photograph some of the waterfalls found along the Oregon side as well as some of the best wildflower locations found further east near Mosier and The Dalles. This entry in my blog features several of my favorite images from my two spring visits this year. These photographs are new enough that they have not been added to my site yet, but they are available upon request. I hope you enjoy!
