Pitching a tent in the Columbia Gorge
By Rachel Levin, Sunset senior editor

This photo from Ainsworth State Park got me. Oregon’s seasonal state parks open this weekened (March 13). Campsites are first-come, first-served—so get yourself to the Columbia Gorge, where for 10 bucks a night you can bed down beneath a canopy of green and wake up within miles of more rushing waterfalls than you’ll have time to explore.
Not into camping? Just wait—Sunset’s May 2009 issue will inspire even the most dirt-averse.
