Rowena Plateau

The area from Mosier to the Rowena Plateau is a fun place to visit and explore.

It is located in the south side of the Columbia River Gorge. Ice Age floods scoured much of the area, leaving thin soil and much oak savannah habitat.

In early spring it was a joy to take photos of the spring-like flora and fauna. Wildflowers had begun to bloom in earnest.

Winter doldrums are almost now extinct.
