Additional Information
Photographed by Benjamin A. Gifford in 1908, this striking postcard showcases Wind Mountain towering above the Columbia River in the heart of the Cascade Range. Rising nearly nineteen hundred feet in Skamania County, Washington, the volcanic summit ascends eighteen hundred feet above the water in a breathtaking half-mile vertical climb.
Geologically unlike the surrounding basalt cliffs, Wind Mountain is an ancient volcanic intrusion exposed by millions of years of erosion. The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed this landmark on October 30, 1805, observing a submerged forest at its base — remnants of a prehistoric landslide that reshaped the river centuries earlier.
The summit holds profound spiritual significance as a sacred Native American site, where generations of indigenous youth conducted vision quests spanning over a thousand years. According to tribal tradition, the Great Spirit set fierce whirlwinds around the peak as punishment for those who revealed the secrets of salmon fishing.
Gifford produced the most comprehensive visual record of the Columbia Gorge from this era, working from his studio in The Dalles to supply railroads with images of the region's grandeur. Prized by collectors of Western Americana, this reproduction from the Library of Congress preserves an irreplaceable view of the gorge.
