Ferns in the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge
The 80-mile-long Columbia River Gorge acts as a natural border between Oregon and Washington state. Following the course of the river, the landscape goes from open grasslands in the east to lush, temperate rainforest in the west. In the rainforest portion, rainwater and spray from numerous waterfalls often stream through the tree canopy to soak the ferns that cover the forest floor.
