Even as a mild Winter continues, there is still beauty in the Columbia River Gorge. While the leaves have not appeared on the deciduous trees, the evergreens are still as green as ever. It would be easy to see yourself drawn up the river from here, floating up the river between the mountains. What you can’t see from the photo is just how incredibly windy it is there.
