I took these pictures yesterday from upper Underwood, Washington in Skamania County. This is the view looking east down The Gorge at the Columbia River and Hood River across to the south. This is near the location of last summers fire that took out 6 homes. The terrain is very steep and many trees were removed while trying to contain the fire, thus opening up the view even more. You can see the Hood River Bridge in the distance and a barge making it's way west up the river. Also Wells Island and what is known as The Hook are in the center of the top picture.
