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) ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------------- --------------- ----------------- ------- --------------

What's really great:
Nice weather (but with quite strong winds near the Columbia)

Accommodations:
Columbia Gorge Hotel ist very fancy and set above a cliff of the Columbia

Other recommendations:
Go and get yourself a Yamaha WaveRunner (rental company directly under the toll bridge). Go and sit at a cozy restaurant in Downtown. Go and check trails at Mount Hood (where you can go skiing year round). Spend a night at the Columbia Gorge Hotel (I-84 E).

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!
