Chanticleer Point, Scenic viewpoint in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, US.
The viewpoint stands at 240 meters elevation, providing views of Crown Point, Vista House, and Rooster Rock State Park along the Columbia River.
The Chanticleer Inn operated at this location from 1912 to 1930, serving meals to presidents and dignitaries before burning down due to a discarded cigarette.
The Portland Women's Forum acquired the site in 1956 and later donated it to Oregon, establishing it as a state scenic viewpoint with memorial plaques.
Visitors can access the viewpoint from the Historic Columbia River Highway, with a parking lot located at the north end of the Portland Women's Forum area.
The site witnessed massive Ice Age floods that reached depths of 300 meters, reshaping the Columbia River Gorge and creating North America's highest waterfall concentration.
