The Rowena Crest Viewpoint is one of Oregon's most Instagram-worthy natural overlooks, located approximately an hour and a half drive east of the city of Portland. The overlook showcases one of the most stunning panoramas on the Columbia River Gorge, located just off the Historic Columbia River Highway near the city of Mosier.
It is known for its unique horseshoe-shaped curve, which is one of the state's most-photographed spots. A parking lot is offered at the overlook, letting visitors get out of their cars and explore the sweeping views of the surrounding cliffs, hills, gorge, and river. Nearby, the Tom McCall Nature Preserve showcases rare plant populations, home to a number of lovely nature trails.
