Review:
The Guy W. Talbot State Park is named after the erstwhile vice president of the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad. Guy Talbot was an astute businessman who went on to greater things. In 1929, he donated 220 acres, including the Latourell Falls, to the state. While living in Oregon, he and his family had used the area as a summer estate. The family ties remain as his great grandson is a benefactor of the park. Where the park meets the Crown Point State Scenic Corridor, the Historic Columbia River Highway winds down from Crown Point in a series of near figure eight loops, in order to lessen the steep gradient.
