Scenic bridge leading to a small island with Japanese-inspired plants, rocks & water features.
The waterfall is formed as Beaver Creek sheets out onto a wide channel over a 40 feet shoot at high velocity into a natural amphitheater of layered basalt. Beaver Falls Trail leads to Beaver Falls in 0.3 miles from a trailhead on Beaver Falls Road. The waterfall and trail are surrounded by Douglas fir, western red-cedar, western hemlock, and big-leaf maple.
The Astoria Column is a tower in the northwest United States, overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River on Coxcomb Hill in Astoria, Oregon. Built 92 years ago in 1926, the concrete and steel structure is part of a 30-acre city park.
Sauvie Island is the largest island along the Columbia River and lies 10 miles northwest of downtown Portland. The island’s farmland and wildlife refuge and has become a popular destination for a variety of people — locals seeking the freshest and best produce; birdwatchers looking for sandhill cranes, bald eagles, blue herons or migrating geese; and those who want to hike, bike, fish, hunt or use the public beaches. I have the directions dropping you off at the convenience right off of the bridge, you can pick up day passes, drinks, and snacks for a day at the beach! P.S. one part of the beach is clothing optional .... if you're into that sort of thing! ;)
