opinions please

Need some opinion on the Columbia River Gorge area on the Oregon side.
If you were going to stay for 3 days, what would you do? Is this just a drive through touristy road or is there enough to occupy a couple days before proceeding? thank you!

    Park at someplace like Sandy River RV park and day trip through the gorge MtHood. That should get you three days easily depending on your hiking abilities it could be much longer to experience all the water falls

    West end of the gorge has numerous water falls and trails. One is Multnomah Falls. Good for nearly a day around there.
    East end has places to enjoy watching the wind surfers on the river. In between is several dams. Bonneville has a large fish hatchery along with fish exhibits.
    It really depends on what you are into!
