2013 Mount Hood Area Travel — 7/21 Hood River→Historic Columbia River Highway

在Safeway買了些食物之後，直接上了I-84州際公路，車流量一下子多了好多倍。

右邊就是哥倫比亞河，這河是華盛頓州和奧勒岡州的分界線。

風應該不小，河面處處閃現著浪花白。

或許是太平洋沿岸有雨水滋潤，華盛頓和奧勒岡這兩個州的西邊都是鬱鬱蔥蔥一片綠！

在35號出口下了高速公路，我們沿著Historic Columbia River Highway（30）找尋著午餐地點，在樹下享受著清風徐來的悠閒！

這裡還不錯，遊客又少（之後才知道這附近的遊客真是多得嚇人，塞車十分嚴重）。

之前查的資料都是有關Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area，對於這個離主要旅遊區域較遠（靠東）的Ainsworth State Park所知不多。

Nestled in the awe-inspiring Columbia River Gorge, Ainsworth is equal parts waterfall wonderland, hiker's playground and camper's delight.Situated at the eastern end of Historic Highway 30, from Ainsworth to Crown Point to the west, you'll find the world's greatest concentration of high waterfalls (like Multnomah Falls).
By leaving the park on Nesmith Point trail, you'll end up with a splendid view of St. Peter's Dome, a majestic basalt monolith rising 2,000 feet above the mighty Columbia River. Hiking is definitely something you'll want to do while camping at Ainsworth State Park.
Ainsworth is located in close proximity to Interstate 84 for ease of access as well as close to a working rail line that runs through the entire Columbia River Gorge.

吃完午餐，坐進車內，我們在清風徐徐的樹下睡了個午覺。知道接下來要去觀賞Columbia River Gorge的著名瀑布，但在悠閒的午後休息一下應該也不為過！
