Columbia River Highway, Ore. #368"This is an unused vintage Real Photo Post Card produced by early 20th Century photographers, Cross & Dimmit. The image was taken circa 1918. Photo post cards of this type were made between 1918 and 1940. As this post card is approximately 70 to 100 years old, minor imperfections and condition issues may be present." Friends of Vista House. From the collection of A. F. Litt

"[Cross and Dimmitt #368] was shot down the road from Alex Barr by a minute or so. This section sits between Latourell and Shepperd’s Dell, and today it is hard to even recognize due to the amount of trees obscuring the view now."
