Not until this highway was built was it possible to go up or down the Columbia River Gorge. In the earliest period, travel relied on rafts and dug-outs, or native boats; in a later period, steamboats and the railroad served the route. The highway is associated with the memory of Samuel Hill, with Alonzo Victor Lewis as sculptor and John G. Edwards as designer.
