Actually Hood River and the Bonneville Dam and Multnomah Falls. We missed the peak salmon run but were able to see several fish at the dam through plexiglas. At the falls you could walk up to a bridge midway. The trail to the top was closed due to recent mudslides. Going through the locks at the dam was a 98 foot drop in about 30 minuets. Wonderful adventure!

The Columbia River is AWESOME! We loved sitting on the balcony watching the many wonders of the river. The locks were amazing - and exciting to watch, as were the wildlife, AND the sunsets!!

A lot to see from the River view lounge, plus commentary from the lecturer.

Unsurpassed scenery on the Columbia. The locks are really interesting.
