A roadside viewpoint on Old Hwy 8 near White Salmon frames Mount Hood with dramatic Columbia River Gorge layers. Best light is sunrise (cool, crisp peaks) and late-afternoon golden hour (warm sky glow). The pull-off is quick to access and ideal for quick stops with wide-angle landscapes; mountain clouds can add high-impact mood.
