the columbia gorge riverboat印象

I'd driven the highway up the Columbia Gorge and stopped at the dam. The Riverboat on the Columbia was the best way to experience the River. And if you can take the dinner cruise, the food is far better than average for this type of dining. Go up on deck so you can hear the captain talking about the history - see where Lewis and Clark stopped. See Native American fishing platforms and if you're lucky, their fish. The Riverboat will be of interest to boating buffs. You might see sailboats, windsurfers or parasail/surfers gliding along the Riverboat. This is a peaceful, pleasant way to enjoy the River. There is a nice gift shop, snack shop and restrooms at the ticket office for this attraction. The open deck is the best, but if weather is not nice, the enclosed deck works fine.

The Sternwheeler is a quaint old boat powered by a paddle wheel. There were 100 ladies in our tour group and there was plenty of room, even with another group on the second deck. We had a delicious buffet lunch inside on the lower deck. They even allowed us to bring our own band for entertainment. The boat takes a slow relaxing two hour journey above the Bonneville Dam, with magnificent views of the Columbia Gorge. We even saw a nesting Osprey! We could walk around the outside decks and view the paddle wheel. Even though the weather was not ideal, there were sun breaks and the fog along the mountain tops had an eary beauty. On the way back to Vancouver (it's a one hour drive) everyone was raving about what a great time we had!

This trip is well worth the money. It offers very pretty views of the Columbia river within the Columbia River Gorge. Not only are the views pretty, it's also quite informative because you hear the captain on the loudspeaker giving a lot of information about the river and the gorge. You board this paddle boat in Cascade Locks, Oregon which is about a 45 minute drive from Portland, Oregon.

My husband and I have done this sightseeing trip twice. Once with family and once with visitors from out of State. Both times we found the leisurely pace and beautiful scenery relaxing and enjoyable. We spent time outside on the decks but it can be chilly, even in September, so take a jacket. One of the most interesting features of the trip are the Indian fishing platforms which are passed down from generation to generation. We combined this trip with a stop at Multnomah Falls which made for a great day trip.

Even though it was pouring rain, we had a great time going through the locks on the 5 hr. trip. Breakfast and lunch were included on the trip. You could view the waterfalls, watch the salmon fishermen on the shore and wading in the water.
