About Quinn Mountain

After many years of working life, we retired to the peacefulness of the Columbia River Gorge where we share 40 lush, forested acres with our pets, farm animals, and Nature, including gardens, ponds, native plants, and a diverse population of wild creatures.

We just couldn't sit still, so we remodeled our home, greatly expanded our gardens, and now devote much time to managing our forests for Douglas fir and hardwood production.

Other projects included the creation of two beautifully appointed guest suites on the lower level.

We also built an enclosed spa, created of herb and vegetable gardens, cut flower gardens, a restful Koi pond, and stream, and nature trails.

We have also built an outdoor G-scale garden railroad, two greenhouses, and a small event building. We have made it through many challenging days...doing almost all the work ourselves. We now make our property available at no charge for gatherings of groups to which we belong, including WSU Water Shed Stewards/Clark County Clean Water volunteers, Rose City Garden Railroad Society, Skamania Garden Club, and Hardy Plant Society, and meetings.

We enjoy officiating at weddings in the Columbia River Gorge, Washougal, Hood River, Camas, and Vancouver, Washington; and host a limited number of small, intimate weddings at Quinn Mountain that bring us stimulating company and lasting friendships.

Life is good in the Columbia River Gorge and we are blessed to be here.

Quinn Mountain’s HOSTS

L. W. ‘Bud’ Quinn
Bud knows the Columbia Gorge well, having grown up in The Dalles, Oregon when the old Scenic Highway was the only route from Portland to Pendleton.

He first experienced life beyond the Gorge on a Navy destroyer, witnessing almost every major WW II sea battle in the South Pacific, and then spent 37 years with Crown-Zellerbach, Camas, retiring as superintendent of operations.

He went on to serve Skamania County in many capacities, including Board of Equalization member, Fair Board President, Interpretive Center Board member, Columbia Gorge Commissioner, and Skamania County Commissioner.


J. Christina Brittain, Ph D

Christina has enjoyed several diverse careers, including director of residential and employment programs for developmentally disabled adults, state administrator of employment and training programs for people with disabilities, college environmental education instructor, and regional manager of ALCOA’s recycling operations in the Western US and Canada.

In recent years, she obtained a doctoral degree in Applied psychology and Integrated Ecology. For her dissertation, she created Nature Visioning, a process that integrates aware relaxation, direct contact with nature, and original visioning into an effective therapy for helping people discover what they genuinely need for enhancing wellness and joy in their lives.

Christina's interests include gourmet cooking, especially Asian cuisine and importing unusual teas from China, gardening, carpentry, D-SLR photography, Photoshop editing, G-scale railroading, hiking, and reading.

She has been or is currently active in the community as Skamania County Chamber of Commerce board member, Columbia River Gorge Visitors Association member, Skamania County Board of Adjustment Chair, WSU Watershed Steward, WSU Master Gardener, Portland Hardy Plant Society member, Rose City Garden Railroad Society Education Chair, Sierra Club member, and Friends of the Gorge member.
