点评:I was born, 1955, pretty much right in the middle of the Gorge. I got to watch quite a bit of the building of I-84... I learned to count as a toddler watching the trains pass on the other side.
Without exaggeration I have driven or ridden through the gorge hundreds of times. In all weather. At all hours. Less often from The Dalles to the Tri-Cities in Washington and less often from Portland to Astoria. What is or is not "the Gorge" has been debated...
I have sailed in the gorge.
I have studied the geology and the weather. A rain shadow between Cascade Locks & Hood River. Personal experience of reported sustained winds at Crown Point, 127mph. I have had to remove the wipers when driving into the wind when it really rips. Exhilarating!
It always looks different. It is always amazing -- if there is any light even if it's just stars.
I have camped and hiked and ridden bikes on both sides.
You could have a splendid day just driving in a big circuit from Hood River-White Salmon to Vancouver-Portland and back on the other side. You WILL NEED binoculars!
翻译:我于 1955 年出生在峡谷的正中央。我亲眼目睹了 I-84 的建设……我还是蹒跚学步的孩子时,就学会了看着火车从另一边驶过。
毫不夸张地说,我开车或骑车穿过峡谷数百次。无论天气如何。无论何时。从达尔斯到华盛顿的三城地区,我很少这样做,从波特兰到阿斯托里亚,我更少这样做。峡谷到底是不是“峡谷”一直存在争议……
我曾在峡谷中航行。
我研究过地质和天气。卡斯卡德洛克斯和胡德河之间有雨影。我亲身经历过皇冠角持续风速 127 英里/小时的持续风。当风真的很猛烈时,我不得不在迎风驾驶时拆下雨刷。令人兴奋!
它总是看起来与众不同。它总是令人惊叹——如果有光亮,即使只是星星。
我在两边都露营、徒步旅行和骑自行车。
您可以在胡德河-白鲑鱼大道上驾车行驶,经过温哥华-波特兰,再返回,度过美好的一天。您将需要双筒望远镜!
