Panorama Point overlooks the Columbia River Gorge with sweeping views of the river, layered ridgelines and often Mount Hood in the distance. It’s a roadside viewpoint with a small pullout and short walk to vantage points — no entry fee. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side-light on cliffs; spring and fall offer wildflowers and color, winter brings dramatic snow and low clouds. Weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds; expect gusty winds in afternoons (watch gear).
