Beginning as a trickle in the high alpine meadows of western Canada, the
Columbia River flows through great, forested mountains and down desert
canyons. Joined by the Snake River, it rolls with increasing force
through fertile farmlands, past snow-covered volcanoes, and finally
knifes through a mountain range to complete a 1,200-mile journey to the
wide sea.
This is the grand gateway to the West, pioneered by Lewis and Clark,
roamed by fur traders, and traversed by courageous settlers as they
forged their way over the Oregon Trail. Your expedition is led by
Historians and Naturalists rather than conventional tour guides,
specialists who share their enthusiasm through informal talks and
presentations. Join them for frequent trips ashore and on Zodiac
explorations to remote side canyons. Our ship is equipped with kayaks,
adding another perspective to your expedition. It’s a fascinating voyage
of discovery to a magnificent region indelibly linked to epic events in
America’s past.
