Oregon trail | leschalmers

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark (Transcontinental explorers very early 1800’s) just east of Portland Oregon, trailblazing the Oregon Trail with Native Americans as guides, noted the spectacular scenery, waterfalls and tremendous resources of the area. People have been doing the same ever since.

Oregon is on a scale difficult to describe. The Columbia River Gorge area, in particular, would have been absolute nirvana to these pioneers as it was to the natives that their followers eventually displaced.

Much cleverer people than myself have tried to describe this area so lets just leave it at that and I’ll whack in a few photos. Much better for you, better for me.
