the eyes of its Native peoples. This is a region for exploration and adventure, where visitors can paint their
own experience in a watercolor landscape of distant purple mountains and the muted tones of the desert. See Eastern Oregon Visitor's Association

production of pears, peaches, cherries, apricots and apples. One of the largest concentrations of high
waterfalls in the nation spills forth from the cliffs and ledges that wall in the mighty Columbia River to create the nation's only national scenic area. See Clackamas County is Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory.
