This picture of Hamilton Mountain silhouetted against the dawn sky was taken from Chanticleer Point. Sunlight coming under the cloud layer illuminated mist with a dramatic orange glow.
Chanticleer Point in Portland Women's Forum State Park is the first viewpoint on the Columbia River Scenic Highway. The point is named after a restaurant and roadhouse located there in the teens and early twenties named Chanticleer Inn.
