Deciduous trees line both shores, and the hills in the background are fairly well forested, with conifers primarily in evidence. Buildings are visible in the middle ground on the low hills, especially to the right. A slight haze hangs over the valley in the distance but in the foreground the shadows of a sunny day are strong.

A black and white image of a view from above the Columbia River. There is a paved road with a fence along it in the foreground. A sign beyond the fence warns that "no parking on pavement is allowed". The road appears to be running along a cliff in this area. Below are conifers and deciduous trees. Along the shores of the river buildings are visible among the trees and meadows. In the background a steep, intermittently-wooded bluff rises. In the middle of the photograph is a low-lying area of land that may be an island.

10. Trevitt Monument, Memaloose Island
Trevitt Monument, Memaloose Island
Description
A black and white view of Trevitt Monument on Memaloose Island in the Columbia River east of Hood River. The monument, an obelisk of light-colored granite on a square base of darker stonework, marks the grave of a local pioneer named Victor Trevitt. A state senator 1866-74, he was buried in 1883 in the Indian burial ground at his request. The monument stands at the edge of the island, and two men stand on either side of it. In the foreground, another man in a hat, suit, and coat is holding a skull. The wooden boards and planks of a Native American burial structure seem to make a circle, which surrounds a jumbled assemblage of skulls and bones. One skull, towards the center, is noticeably darker than the other bones. Between the burial structure and the Trevitt Monument lies some sort of plank box or boat, with more skulls and bones on it. In the background is the river, with a concrete embankment showing on the opposite shore on the left. The rest of the shore is bare; behind it trees cover a gentle slope. "Memaloose" is a corruption of the Chinook language "Memalust" meaning "to die".
