The official interpretive center for the Columbia River Gorge Nat'l Scenic Area. |
Extreme! In one word, this describes the habitat and climate of the Columbia River Gorge. During the summer, a traveler can go from a temperature of 40 degrees on Mount Hood to 104 degrees at Sheras Falls on the Deschutes River. In one day, it can be raining "cats and dogs" in the western end of the Gorge, while the eastern end is "dry as a bone." At the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Museum, the official Interpretive Center for the National Scenic Area, you can learn more about this amazing region and its history through exciting film, interactive exhibits, and live presentations. Discover the history of Native Americans who have lived in this region for more than 10,000 years. Explore the Gorge through the journals of explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, Lewis and Clark Expedition. Learn about pioneers who packed up all of their belongings to journey to the Oregon Territory. Walk the outdoor trails and take in spectacular views of the Columbia River Gorge, wildlife, and restored Native habitat.
