Columbia Gorge Getaways
Quick Facts
Why Carson & the Columbia River Gorge
Carson sits on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, home to the century-old Carson Hot Springs Resort and Falls Creek Falls, a multi-tiered cascade reached via a 4.4-mile out-and-back trail with a suspension bridge crossing. The wider Gorge stretches 85 miles along the Columbia River, with more than 90 waterfalls, a thriving wine and craft beer scene, and easy access to hiking trails like Beacon Rock and Panther Creek Falls.
