Astoria is known to be the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. There is no doubting the richness of the history grounded in this Columbia River town. For thousands of years, the Clatsop Tribe inhabited the lands. Today, you can climb to the top of the Astoria Column - wrapped in depictions of history - and look out over the landscape toward the Pacific Ocean and watch your model wooden airplane glide through the air to its rest below.

Stevenson, United States    
Stevenson embraces the adventurist - with hiking trails, hot springs, and local wineries, a visitor is sure to find plenty to do. Opportunities for educational enlightenment abound within the Columbia River Gorge Interpretive Center and at Bonneville Dam. Consider a stop downtown to visit restaurants, cafes, and small locally-owned shops in which reside treasures of the Pacific Northwest.
Day 6 - Friday - Apr 5, 2024
The Dalles, United States
The Dalles, United States    
At the end of the overland Oregon Trail, The Dalles holds a unique place in history as a jumping-off spot for pioneers, soldiers, gold miners, adventurers, gun-slingers, floozies, and scallywags. The Dalles, although a part of the Oregon High Desert, features a long growing season and a relatively warm climate that supports the growing of grapes. As a result, the region is home to a wine scene unlike any other in Oregon. Visitors will be pleased to see the rolling hills speckled with vineyards.
Day 7 - Saturday - Apr 6, 2024
Richland, United States    
Step off the boat directly into a perfectly polished park, and take a short stroll to downtown shops, eateries, and attractions. Incorporated in 1910, Richland remained a small agricultural community until it was acquired by the U.S. Army for the site of the Hanford Engineer Works - used to produce plutonium during World War II and the Cold War. Today, the historic B Reactor and other important historic venues are part of the Manhattan Project National Historic Park. This and many other intriguing locations are offered as part of your experience in Richland.

Nestled at the union of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers in southeast Washington, Clarkston is the gateway to North America's deepest gorge - Hells Canyon - on the Snake River. Picturesque vistas, year-round mild climates, and a deep history make this scenic inland port a desirable stop. Spend the day enjoying Clarkston, Washington, and neighboring Lewiston, Idaho, while tracing the legacy of the journey of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark - for whom the cities are named.
