Description: The Columbia River Gorge was a welcome escape from the SeaRey grabbing trees of the wilderness. The many dams along the river have deepened its water and made it easily accessible to boats and SeaReys. It was not always so.

Early settlers avoided the gorge because of its steep sides and white water. They went around Mount Hood instead.

Man is only the latest dam builder on the river. It has been dammed many times by basalt flows. Two pillars where the river narrows are remnants of a basalt flow that temporarily impounded the river.

The river is older than the mountains. Every time a mountain rises or the basalt flows, the river has managed to work its way down and through. One has to wonder if the man-made dam’s thin concrete can do what the thick basalt could not?
