A wide range of sunsets in the Columbia River Gorge photographed from Quinn Mountain

Watch the late afternoon sun set from Quinn Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge with displays in spectacular colors.

Some Columbia River Gorge sunsets are over in an instant and others last for a long, long time

Some Columbia River sunsets are blazing shades of pink, orange, and purple, disappearing in minutes. Delightful Columbia Gorge sunsets disappear over the Cape Horn bluff

Some Columbia Gorge sunsets are darkly foreboding with hints of forthcoming storms

Angel's Rest is lit up by the setting sun looking south from the deck of Quinn Mountain in the Columbia River Gorge.

On this winter evening in February 2007,the evening sun illuminated the shoreline across the Columbia River near Bridal Veil, Oregon

On rare occasions, usually in winter, the low sun lights up Angel's Rest, seen here from the deck of Quinn Mountain in February 2007.

Sometimes the sky over the Cape Horn bluff resembles a huge ball of fire. February 2007.
