Tourists explore the upper deck of Vista House, the historic Crown Point observatory overlooking the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.

Description

The iconic Vista House stands majestically against a brilliant azure sky at Crown Point, its Art Deco limestone facade gleaming in golden afternoon light. Visitors gather on the observation deck's upper levels, silhouetted against the vast expanse above the Columbia River Gorge. The octagonal structure's neoclassical columns and curved stonework create dramatic shadows across the sweeping circular steps, while evergreen forests frame this architectural monument to Oregon's scenic highway heritage.
