"Roll On, Columbia"
Woody Guthrie.
Looking eastbound from the ridge near Ponytail Falls. The river runs 1,200 miles from British Columbia through seven states to the Pacific Ocean.
Across the river on the Washington state side, Beacon Rock is visible. The rock is the remains of a volcano. During the Missoula floods the surrounding terrain was eroded by the violent floodwaters, leaving this volcanic plug. Named by Captain Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the rock is 848' tall, with a one mile trail to the top for outstanding views of the river.
I-84 is the interstate freeway running along the river from Portland, Oregon.
