Vista House [by Kelsey Ivey]

#7 Best Columbia River Gorge Historical Marker: Vista House

Once known as the “$100,000 outhouse” for its lavish design, the Vista House is a beautiful observatory at Crown Point and well worth the stop, even if it’s only to use the bathroom. Constructed in 1918 of gray limestone and topped with a green-tile roof, it sits on a rocky promontory with views in all directions of the Columbia River Gorge and forest. Walk around the upper level, visit the gift shop in the basement and make sure to check out the perfectly stacked rock wall that forms its base.
