Geocache Description:



The Baker County run stops at the Baker/Columbia County lines.  There was a gap to fill, so I did!

 

Bingen Gap ...

The Bingen Gap is a constriction of the Columbia River located on both sides of the Columbia River, and located just upstream of Hood River, Oregon and Bingen, Washington. The gap is a large anticline/syncline feature of Columbia River Basalt. On the Washington State side the "Coyote Wall" is a steep wall on the west side with sloping fields on the east. "Straights Point" is located at Columbia River Mile (RM) 175, where the Coyote Wall meets the Columbia River. Locke Lake is located on the west at the base of Coyote Wall. Washington State Highway 14 divides Locke Lake into two. Upstream another mile and nestled in the backside of the Coyote Wall is Rowland Lake. Downstream of the Bingen Gap is the Washington town of Bingen. The U.S. Board of Geographic Names made the name "Bingen Gap" official in 1966, and states the Gap is 4 miles long by 1 mile wide.

Lewis and Clark and the Bingen Gap ... Lewis and Clark passed through the Bingen Gap on October 29, 1805, and then again when they return on April 14, 1806.
