Yesterday I cruised the Willamette River and Columbia River with a little over 100 passengers and crew on the Sternwheeler “Columbia Gorge”, an authentic triple-deck paddle wheeler, providing 360 degrees of breathtaking vistas. The Sternwheeler "Columbia Gorge" was built by the Nichols Boat Works of Hood River, Oregon and launched on the Columbia River in 1983. There were three Captains on board. We traveled through the Columbia River Gorge on its return trip to Cascade Locks for the summer trips. Captain Tom Cramblett narrated highlight points of interest including Bonneville Dam Lock and Multnomah Falls. We saw a double rainbow at Bonneville Lock. We saw sea lions gorging themselves on spring Chinook, bald headed eagles, red tailed hawks, and blue herons. We traveled back to Portland on RAZ buses. It was a great trip!
