We are in a stunningly beautiful national scenic area. The Gorge is the kite/windsurfing capital of the world and it's a classic small town environment, nestled against the backdrop of the mighty, historic Columbia River, stunning geologic cliffs, and thankfully it hasn't changed much from the days of Lewis & Clark. Our house in Mosier is close to everything in the Gorge. We have endless USFS hiking trails, camp grounds, windsurfing, mountain biking, skiing at Mt Hood Meadows, SUP and river access at every turn.
