Fall Gorge Drive - Oct 12, 2019
A drive along the Historic Columbia River Highway to Maryhill Winery near Goldendale, Washington.
It was crisp but beautiful on the morning of October 12th, when about 15 member cars gathered at the Lewis and Clark State Recreation Area in Troutdale. To our surprise we were not the only group of cars meeting there for a Fall drive—there were also about 10 early American cars (1900—1930) from another local club.
We drove along almost every piece of the Historic Columbia River Highway that is open to cars, from Troutdale to The Dalles, only joining I-84 to connect the sections. We stopped at Rowena Crest Viewpoint for a break. What an incredible view of the gorge!
The weather only got better as we continued from The Dalles, across the Columbia River to Maryhill Winery. We all enjoyed a tasty lunch and conversation at picnic tables on their patio, overlooking the gorge from the Washington side.
We all went our separate ways from there, with some returning home and others continuing their explorations. Maryhill Museum of Art is right there, as is the Stonehenge and WWII Memorial.
