Description: Page 303 of an article by Randall R. Howard. The author describes the construction of the Columbia River Highway, and takes us on an automobile journey along the Highway from Portland, Oregon to The Dalles and Celilo Falls.

Description: 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. In the top right of the photograph the river changes course with a bend to the left.
