The next biggest city is The Dalles further east (40 miles). The main event is windsurfing because of strong winds year round. A toll brigde gives an access to Washington state.

Favourite spots:
- Nice landscape setting (Glacier, Valley, Columbia)
- The city is set on a steep slope
- Grown city, not too modern
- Different sports are possible (Windsurfing, sailing, MTB, skiing)
Matthias, Columbia Gorge is one of my favorite places on earth! I have hiked Multnomah Falls 6 times. It would be great to see some pictures in this report and more on the natural beauty of this area!
