On Saturday, Steve and I played tour guide for a coworker who wanted to scout out potential photo locations for his chase of the 4449 in a couple weeks. It was a great opportunity to spend a day in the Columbia River Gorge. The weather was in the mid-90s. Unfortunately the area was very smoky/hazy due to several wildfires burning in central and eastern Oregon. Here’s a few of my favorite photos from the day:
