Cherry orchards in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Oregon

Let springtime have its fields of pink cherry blossoms! Here in the orchards of the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, autumn’s rejoinder to spring's colors is a correspondingly bright splash of orange and gold. A trip to the Gorge nets some spectacular color in a region not often thought of as a fall foliage destination.
