Cascade Range and Columbia Plateau
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]


Eugene, Oregon, is on the old side of the Cascades. This thick basalt flow is exposed in a former quarry on the west side of Skinner Butte, making an attractive setting for several different but compatible uses. (c) 2005 Andrew Alden, licensed to About.com, Inc. (fair use policy)
