Wonderful Winter

It is hard to think that winter just really got here. It is even more hard to believe that we are already a month into a new year and that tomorrow brings the first day of February. While most will be huddled in small rooms tomorrow bracing themselves on the game of the year some of you may be wondering how to fill that gap. 

I can assure you a drive to Skamania County would treat your senses. Traveling down I-84 or 14 have amazing sights this time of the year. Multnomah Falls is bursting and the Columbia Gorge is a sight in itself freckled with patches of ice and large flocks of birds. 

Even better say that you are busy for tomorrows game. How many have their Valentines plans in check? Sneak away for a romantic getaway... we will do all the work for you. Chocolates, flowers and all the frills all you have to do is show up. 

Carson Ridge Private Luxury Cabins would like to wish all a Happy New Year and we will look forward to seeing you soon!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! 

2009 has welcomed some absolutely beautiful sun sets in recent days a far cry from the Arctic blasts that 2008 closed out with. With the morning chill at a steady 28 degrees the cars and the roads sheeted with a thin layer of ice you cannot help but love to be in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. 

Rain or shine sleet or hail summer, winter or fall there is always something to see and embrace in this beautiful country. With this quick melting of near by areas we have seen numerous water ways that either have never been their before or are double and triple their usual flow. The waterfalls in their area are a must see as they shoot out of cliff and mountain sides.

This weekend we are hosting guests from not to far away. They made the quick drive from portland and Vancouver to get lost in the ridges and mountains. We would like to invite you to come get away as well and envelope yourself in the Columbia River Gorge while staying nice and cozy in front of your fireplace with a wonderful book. 

"Staycations"

With all this talk about "staycations" a term used in reference to the high costs of just about everything and the more reasonable way to travel being on staying closer to home. Have you heard it? It is every where from the radio to the news, even sitcoms are joking about.

Where are you traveling to? Cause let me tell you from Seattle to Portland we are going to be thee destination to retreat to!

We got some beautiful sunshine yesterday and though it is a bit hazy this morning I think today is going to turn out just as breath taking. The frost is appearing towards the higher elevations and when that morning sun crest and shoots off all the random colors that are out there, it truly is breath taking. 

Tomorrow is opening night of the First Annual Hidden Treasures Alpaca Auction. This event is being held down at the Skamania County Fairgrounds until Sunday. Check out Skamania.org for more information! 

Also make sure not to miss the North Bonneville, Washington Woodland Fairy Pumpkin Hunt this Saturday from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm.
