Windows in the Sky

People are like stained glass windows they sparkle and shine when the sun is out. But when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if their light is from within ~ Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Vista House.

The Vista House was built as a rest stop observatory for travelers on the old Columbia River Gorge Highway and as a fitting memorial honoring Oregon’s pioneers—particularly those who made their way down the Columbia River. Described by its architect, Edgar M. Lazarus, as “a temple to the natural beauty of the Gorge,” Vista House has long been recognized for its historic significance and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
