You climb into a light airplane at a small Oregon airfield and the city peels away beneath you—rooftops giving way to the silver ribbon of the Sandy River. The engine hum becomes a companion rather than noise, and then Mount Hood appears: a broad, glaciated cone wearing snow like armor.

The Columbia River Gorge has long been a travel corridor for Indigenous peoples and later for settlers; many features visible from the air are tied to Missoula Floods and volcanic activity in the Cascades.
