Introduction
The Portland Women's Forum State Scenic Viewpoint, located on the Columbia River Gorge, is an excellent spot to view the magnificent Columbia River and Mount Hood. Protected and established by the Portland Women's Forum in the 1920s, it is one of the first national scenic viewpoints established through women's organization efforts, carrying the pioneering history of women's environmental movement. The viewpoint is known for the iconic Crown Point observation deck, from which visitors can overlook the Columbia River winding westward, with Mount Hood's snow-capped peak rising in the distance, creating Oregon's most representative landscape. Spring brings gorge wildflowers, and autumn offers colorful maple foliage, with unique highlights each season. This is not only a sacred place for photographers but also a valuable place to understand women's environmental movement history and Columbia River Gorge geological evolution.
