Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Columbia River Gorge, United States

The Columbia River Gorge, an 80-mile seam between Washington and Oregon, shifts from arid grasslands in the east to the lush, temperate rainforests of bigleaf maple in the west. Adventures here are a tale of earth and water: hiking its forest-flanked trailheads and breezy basalt bluffs, or fishing, paddleboarding or windsurfing its mighty rivers. And you can refuel with local craft brews, valley-grown wines and ‘Tex-ish’ barbecue.
