Rooster Rock State Park

We are getting settled into Rooster Rock.......completing the safety modules, learning the lock and unlock routines at Dabney St. Park, Lewis and Clark St. Park, as well as Rooster Rock. We found out that we have to open the gates at 5 AM for the local fisherpersons. Who in their right mind would want to get up at that hour just to catch a fish? Right now we are closing the park at 9PM but Rangers will take over closing duties within a couple of weeks so that will slow down our pace a bit. The staff here at Rooster are great to work with. It's going to be a good place to volunteer for a few months. What we did discover this morning at 5 AM was how beautiful the sunrises are here at Rooster Rock. Here are a couple of the pictures we took this morning looking east up the Columbia River. This is the same view that Lewis and Clark would have seen standing on this same site back in the eighteen hundreds.
Rooster Rock State Park is on the Columbia River about 25 miles east of Portland, Oregon. The map below shows where our rig is currently parked.
