The Columbia River Gorge is home to waterfalls, sweet summer fruit and a volcano, all east of Portland, Oregon. You can spend a day exploring the Columbia River Gorge National Recreation Area with an easy drive on Interstate 84.

Fire lines held against gusty winds on Thursday around the Burdoin Fire in the Columbia River Gorge. Fire officials say that, “crews are working to stop fire movement within the unburned ‘fingers' around Catherine and Major creeks, Lyle Snowden Road and Canyon Road, as well as a ‘horseshoe’ on the east end of the fire.”
