Binding: paperback
As a link on the "Wire Trail," which was a Native American route
between Celilo and Willamette Falls, Troutdale was first a site
for Chinook Indian encampments. Its locale was connected to
westward expansion as a landing place for Lewis and Clark and as
one of the initial stops for immigrants fresh off the Oregon
Trail. Troutdale's pioneers wrestled with its thick forests,
rocky basalt cliffs, and the fierce east wind that funneled down
from the Columbia River Gorge. Despite these obstacles, they
created a community with a colorful and serendipitous history
that included record-setting smelt runs, paralyzing ice storms,
and being named as the "celery capital of the world." Troutdale
transformed as its main street evolved from a dirt road into the
first paved highway in the Pacific Northwest. This, coupled with
the arrival of the railroad, has made it a gateway for tourists,
day-trippers, and exuberant photographers seeking jaw-dropping
vistas of the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area.
