"...the National Scenic Area Act put an end to industrial development in the rural gorge. It imposed strict limits on residential development outside thirteen urban areas, especially development that would be visible from towns, highways and the Columbia River itself."

"The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-663) created the USDA Forest Service—CRGNSA to administer National Forest lands within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Much of these lands were formerly in Gifford Pinchot National Forest north of the river and formerly in Mount Hood National Forest south of the river. The USDA Forest Service—CRGNSA also provides technical support for state and local governments on non-federal lands within the Scenic Area and has administrative offices in Hood River, Oregon."

"The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (CRGNSA) Management Plan has vegetation management along the CRH as an objective in its 'Scenic Resources Enhancement Strategies.' ODOT and other agencies developed a 'Corridor Visual Inventory' in 1990 that addresses vegetation removal and management strategies for the CRH (Historic Columbia River Highway), Interstate 84, and Washington State Route 14 (following the Columbia’s north shore), to recapture the majestic views possible from these highways when they were constructed. Some of the vistas, obscured for decades, have been reclaimed along the highway."
