This morning, we cruised through spectacular scenery of mountains and trees shrouded in clouds as we made our way up the Columbia River. Before lunch we went through the first lock of our trip at Bonneville Dam.
After a delicious midday meal, we left the ship behind for adventures ashore. We visited the 620-foot-tall Multnomah Falls, the tallest waterfall in Oregon. After that we split into groups, with some choosing to visit Bonneville Fish Hatchery and others opting for a hike at Beacon Rock.
We finished our time ashore at the Columbia Gorge Museum where we were treated to a wine tasting from Syncline Winery and delicious appetizers from Field and Vine.
We returned to National Geographic Sea Bird for a well-deserved dinner after another wonderful day in the Pacific Northwest.
