Ref.#02 4386 ~ Crown Point, Columbia River Gorge
The Vista House at Crown point was chosen as an observatory for The Columbia River Highway. It is the nation's oldest scenic highway. In 2000 it was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service as "an outstanding example of modem highway development".
The now Historic Columbia River Highway was the first planned scenic roadway in the United States. Built through the Columbia River Gorge between 1913 and 1922, the roadway was envisioned not just as means of traveling by the then popular Model T, but designed with an elegance that took special advantage of all the natural beauty along the route. Long a barrier to development of the western valleys, the precipitous cliffs and frequent creek crossings, a monumental effort was made carving around or tunneling through towering cliffs, building bridges over small canyons, while building a road for everyone.
