USA Scenic Overlook of the Columbia River near Seattle

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This is a surprisingly beautiful overlook of the Columbia River that's definitely worth a stop when driving down that road coming from the north. It's a possible connection between Palouse Falls and Seattle, so depending on the timing this is combinable.

Photography Tips

Adding a person in your photo can help a lot to create a better dimension. Especially sunset is perfect for this spot and depending on where you are standing, the river can get quite bright, so make sure to position the person in a way that leads the eye of the viewer towards her or him.
Another beautiful part about this spot is the possibility to create a V-shape with the mountains and letting the river open to just one side, giving the photo a bit of direction instead of the river just being in the center and dividing the scene.

Stunning image and beautiful work, Manuel, especially with the human factor that adds so much boost to the image. Great light and colors, wonderful sky! Thanks for the great details

Thank you so much dear Alona. Yeah without the human element - which is me in this case - the scene definitely misses something. Hope all is well with you and your loved ones! :-) Have a wonderful weekend!!
