“Autumn Bend”
Description:
Completed in 1922, the Historic Columbia River Highway was the first planned scenic highway in the United States. Designed for beauty rather than speed, one of its most famous stretches is the sweeping horseshoe curve at Rowena Crest, perched between Mosier and The Dalles in the Columbia River Gorge.
Story:
The historic Columbia River Highway forms a dramatic hairpin turn at Rowena Crest in Mosier.
No matter the season, this viewpoint is one of those iconic Oregon locations that draws photographers and tourists alike. I was no exception. Built to be scenic, with beauty prioritized over commerce, the road snakes gracefully through the terrain.
Autumn colors were particularly strong this year, and the muted oranges of the oak trees were at their peak.
