"The Gorge" is a little known area near Lake Chelan, Washington. It basically constitutes what is the shortest river in North America. It begins at a small dam that creates Lake Chelan, then runs for 11 miles down to the Columbia River. Most of this distance is composed of extremely rugged canyon walls between 200-500 feet high; and it takes a better part of a day to hike down to the river unless you come in to it from either end. This is an area where Bob grew up, and now that I have seen it, his stories of "rock rolling" take on a whole new meaning. As Bob puts it, it makes the mountains of Afghanistan look like Kansas. We got some excellent photographs and Andrew was also able to get some and he will make a professional quality photo essay of the gorge. 
This is the same bridge you see in the other photos, but we are on the road below it, looking up the gorge.
Impressive gorge.
