Columbia Hills State Park
I like my history to reach out and smack me in the face.There‘s a place on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge where yesterday becomes today and a whole long time ago looks a lot like just now. It‘s powerful and immediate, and if you‘re breathing and walking upright, the fine hairs on your arms will stand on end and move in the breeze, much like the fields of dryland wheat you drove by to get to this place.

It's time to exercise your brain; Whether taking a swing on the golf course or a quick run in the park, your brain is getting a workout, too
