In Short
Crown Point is the premiere viewing spot for the Columbia River. Only 20 minutes from downtown Portland on the Old Highway between Troutdale and Multnomah Falls, Crown Point is one of the city's favorite--and most spectacular--viewpoints. Inside the Vista House offers a respite from the weather and large viewing windows. There are historical exhibits scattered throughout the top level and a coffee bar and gift shop downstairs.
