Sorosis Park

Reviewed By mikewestby2017 - Portland, United States

Sorosis Park offers a unique sweeping vista of the Columbia River as it flows through a massive bend past The Dalles on its way into the Columbia River Gorge. The bonus is a great view of 12,280' high Mt. Adams to the north. We read about Sorosis Park in the book "Columbia River Gorge - An Explorer's Guide". In addition, if you head up to the park, be sure to also visit the Fort Dalles Museum, as well as Pulpit Rock.

Loved these. They honor the Native Americans way of life, also the Corps or Discovery and recent history. My iPhone photos do not do them justice- you really need a wide-angle lense!

Board a brightly colored open-air train to view portions of the longest dam in the United States, and then watch, via closed circuit TV, live images of fish using the fish ladder.

What beautiful scenery. The Dallas is very quaint and has some fun history. We typically drive right through because we always seem to be in aa. Hurry.
