Obtained as a gift from Mark Mayer in 1924, the Rowena Crest Viewpoint is a paved overlook located near the top of the high bluffs on the south side of the Columbia River. It offers magnificent views of the Columbia River Gorge, interpretive exhibits, and hiking trails through a nature preserve. When the spring wildflowers are in bloom, this is one of the most stunning vistas in the Gorge.
