Columbia River Travel Stories

Looking into the gorge

The Columbia and Snake Rivers

On this trip, we stepped back into history. We learned all about the expedition that Lewis and Clark took through the Pacific Northwest. We cruised through gorges and dams, went wine tasting through the wine vineyards of Oregon, kayaked on the calm and rafted in the rough rapids. It was a well-rounded trip with everything!
