The first full day of our trip was one with gorgeous weather and beautiful landscapes. In the morning, we took off on jetboats to explore Hells Canyon, where we saw an amazing variety of birds and many bighorn sheep.
After lunch overlooking the river at Heller Bar, we headed back to National Geographic Sea Bird. Our afternoon was spent onboard with a presentation by James Spencer, a Nez Perce storyteller, and a wine tasting with Coco Umiker from Clearwater Canyon Cellars.
We left the dock at Clarkston behind during cocktail hour and began our journey toward the Pacific Ocean.
