This basalt cliff near White Salmon leans toward the river like it’s diving in

You can see it from across the river. A 200-foot band of columnar basalt leaning toward the Columbia, right off Highway 14 near White Salmon. Locals call it “The Syncline” because the rock layers fold and tilt down toward the water, and the trailhead sits at the foot of it. From there, more than 30 miles of trails spread up and across the ridge.

We Ranked Oregon’s 8 Best Burger Spots, And The Final Cut Might Surprise You

One burger in this state comes topped with peanut butter, raspberry sauce, bacon, and provolone. I had to read that menu line twice before I believed it. That same Oregon kitchen also works with meats like bison and kangaroo. Meanwhile, a coastal shack pairs grass-fed patties with pinball and pool. And a food truck makes its own buns, then sends you off with bread pudding.

Oregon Is Packed With Italian Restaurants but This Hidden Gem Deserves Your Attention

An imported Italian wood-fired oven turns out blistered pizzas on a busy Portland street, while the kitchen serves regional specialties that go far beyond typical Italian-American favorites.

Oregon Has a Vietnamese Restaurant Where the Rice Noodles Are Made Fresh by Hand Every Morning

Most noodle soups in America start with a dried brick of rice noodles pulled from a box. One Portland kitchen skips that shortcut and leans into the slower, older way of doing things. The result is a dining room that fills up fast, a line that often reaches the door, and a menu built around the cooking of Northern Vietnam, a style that is surprisingly hard to find in the United States.

It’s been almost three decades since Ground Kontrol first lit up the city’s gaming scene; 22 years since it relocated to Old Town; and eight years since the hybrid bar-arcade doubled its footprint and launched the 7,000-square-foot flagship it flaunts today.
