picspam from Cave B and the Columbia River Gorge

[bedlamsbard]

I mentioned that on Sunday my parents and I went to the Cave B Inn & Winery for brunch, which was gorgeous -- and here are the pictures! Though none of the food.





The Cave B Inn & Winery includes a main inn, "cliffehouses", yurts, and a number of other places to stay. The cliffehouses are so cute, at least from the outside.



The "winery" section of the name isn't just because there's a winery there (though there is! no pictures of that, though). The Cave B's also a vinyard, and there are grapevines everywhere -- including on the roofs of the cliffehouses!



And since the Cave B overlooks the Columbia River Gorge, it comes with some seriously impressive views!



I have to admit I seriously love the contrast between the native sagebrush and the grapevines.



And, of course, the Columbia River Gorge in its more or less natural state.



Y'all have no idea how hard it was to get a picture of the hills without having cars or people in it.



Sadly, I have no pictures of the Wild Horse Monument; we were too far away to get a good shot, and we didn't stop to hike up.
