2016 Summer Trip: On The Road Day 2

Columbia River

Traveling on I-90 West is a work in progress! the first 10 miles reminded me of driving on some back country road!! Lots of work being done which slowed us down a bit. Worse roads we've been on.

Pictures show the last of the mountains in Montana, and how big of a change when we drove into WA, it was flat and brown looking, it changed as we continued and we started to see more green. We took pictures as we were driving by the Columbia River, really pretty to see.

The Columbia River Gorge, an 80-mile geologic wonder that forms the border between northern Oregon and southern Washington, is proof of Nature's unbridled strength. Glacial floods thousands of years ago carved this 1,200-mile-long river, which is the only sea-level passage to cross the Cascade Mountains. With cliffs rising as high as 4,000 feet, the Gorge acts as a funnel for North America's fourth largest river.

We're staying the night in Ellensburg, WA and will arrive in Burlington, WA where we'll be staying for 10 days.
