The view looks down the Columbia River Gorge from a stone parapet on the Columbia River Highway. The river bends between forested hills and terraced farmland, with islands and a distant peak under a cloudy sky. The highway was built in the 1910s as a scenic motor route through the gorge, and its overlooks gave travelers this kind of wide view.
