The National Scenic Byways Website says this about the highway:
Travel to magnificent overlooks that provide views of the Columbia River and waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls. Springtime has magnificent wildflower displays, including many endemic plants. The Columbia River formed the last leg of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and was part of the early route of the Oregon Trail.
The designated byway portion of the highway is 70 miles long and takes 2-3 hours to drive but 3-5 days to truly stop and enjoy all that there is to see and do.
