Frequently Asked Questions
At the concrete landing of Stevenson Landing, set at the foot of downtown, in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, about 240 kilometres from the river mouth.
Yes, the whole town is walkable. The landing almost touches the main street, and cafés, craft breweries, a coffee roaster, a bookshop and artisan stores follow one another over a few hundred metres.
The Columbia Gorge interpretive museum, a walk on the trail linking the riverside parks, then a terrace downtown. If the excursion is offered, Bonneville Dam and its fish ladders fill the second half of the day.
A protected canyon whose walls rise on either side of the river like the sides of a giant corridor, streaked with waterfalls and topped with conifers. It was carved by glacial floods on a scale hard to imagine today.
Petroglyphs, First Nations objects and settler accounts tracing millennia of human presence along the river, from the First Nations to the Oregon Trail pioneers. The building’s great window frames the neighbouring cliff like a living painting.
Yes, at Bonneville Dam downstream. Behind the glass of the fish ladders, salmon work their way upstream in full view of the public; the show depends on the season and the strength of the run.
For the wind, which made the gorge famous worldwide. Late in the day the thermal wind rises and covers the river with whitecaps; the town’s cafés post forecasts for windsurfers and kitesurfers.
A famous monolith standing downstream from Stevenson, included in some excursion circuits for its switchback climb cut into the rock face. Local guides bring it up readily.
The US dollar and English. Washington State charges sales tax, unlike Oregon on the far bank; restaurant tipping runs 15 to 20 percent.
May through October. Spring brings the waterfalls to full flow, summer brings the wind and the patios. Pack a windproof layer in any season: the Columbia’s breath gives no warning.
