The Dalles, Oregon

The Dalles is a place, where spectacular scenery, outdoor adventure, history, and friendly people all come together. Located in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, between Mt. Hood. and Mt. Adams, The Dalles has been a natural destination point for pioneers of yesteryear and visitors of today!

Alive with History

The end of the overland Oregon Trail, The Dalles carved a unique place in history as a jumping off spot for pioneers, soldiers, gold miners, adventurers, and scallywags. Lewis and Clark camped at this location at Rock Fort Camp during their historic journey to explore the Louisiana Purchase territory in 1805 and 1806. Fort Dalles was established. Ten thousand years of Native American trading took place on the banks of the Columbia River, carved by the Missoula Floods.
