Crown Point State Scenic Corridor
1 review for Crown Point State Scenic Corridor
I've always gone through the touristy route to get to Multnomah Falls from the freeway and wondered how those cars got to where the restaraurant is. Well....this past Sunday was a drive out with Bobby and the kids to Crown Point!!
I have never been there and it is an absolutely beautiful scenic summit of the Gorge. Fall is probably the best time to go and enjoy the tapestry of colors woven through the mountainside.
Then there's the Crown Point Museum that has history of how the museum was established and has since gone through some rennovation. The museum is adorned with marble and some historical figureheads of American Indians. When you go upstairs you get an even better view of the Gorge! Downstairs was a surprise how large it was but the best treat was going into the bathroom and how beautiful it was! The doors are hardwood and the entire bathroom was also lined in marble.
There is plenty of parking and it's a nice place to stop. It can also be a very romantic spot to go to and enjoy the view.
