The story behind the construction of the Oregon scenic highway and the men who made it happen. When nine-hundred-foot ice age floods carved the Columbia River Gorge through the Cascade Mountains to the sea, little space was left for man to form a highway of his own. It took an artist-poet-engineer extraordinaire to conquer this reluctant piece of real estate and produce the nation’s first scenic highway. Meet Sam Hill, the mover and shaker, and Samuel Lancaster, the polio survivor, who turned modern engineering on its ear to create a “poem in stone.” Today, Oregon’s historic Columbia River Highway is hidden among the trees, where it meanders past spectacular waterfalls and dramatic views. Ride along with Peg Willis as she explores the beginnings of this miracle highway and the men who created it.

"The purpose of this project is to prepare a study of the Historic Columbia River Highway showing its scenic, recreation, and economic development potential. The study looks at ways of providing recreation connections for the segments of the Highway which were abandoned after construction of the water-grade freeway in the 1950s and I-84 in the 1960s and 1970s. The study also looks at ways of enhancing the travel experience of motorists and recreationists on the driveable portions of the Highway."--Purpose (page 1).
