Afisha Life | Екскурсія водоспадами ущелини річки Колумбія з Портленда

1

Директор Парк

Наше центральне місце зустрічі та місце збору! Гарний міський парк посеред центру Портленда.

2

Національний мальовничий район ущелини річки Колумбія

Ми вирушимо з центру Портленда та поїдемо на схід уздовж річки Колумбія до Траутдейла, відомого як Ворота в ущелину! Ми приєднаємось до прекрасного історичного шосе через річку Колумбія, першої запланованої мальовничої дороги в Сполучених Штатах.

3

Vista House

Як правило, нашою першою зупинкою на день є Crown Point Vista House. Цей знаменитий краєвид розташований на висоті 733 фути над річкою Колумбія, на вершині залишків потоку лави, який пронісся через ущелину приблизно 14-17 мільйонів років тому! Тут ми побачимо дивовижні 180-градусні краєвиди ущелини річки Колумбія та досліджуємо Vista House. Вишукано спроектована обсерваторія та музей Vista House занесена до Національного реєстру історичних місць.

4

Водоспад Латурель

Від Vista House ми поїдемо глибше в національний мальовничий район річки Колумбія. Нашим першим водоспадом цього дня буде вражаючий водоспад Латурель, який занурюється на 249 футів над масивною стіною з базальтової колони. Залежно від сезону, короткий похід довжиною ¼ милі буде проведено, щоб ближче побачити водоспад.

5

Водоспад Малтнома

Наступним водоспадом, який ми відвідаємо, буде знаменитий водоспад Малтнома. Падаючи на 620 футів у два основних кроки, водоспад Малтнома є найвищим водоспадом в Орегоні та другим за висотою в країні! Тут ми можемо оглянути історичну будиночок Малтнома-Фолс (будиночок з каменю та дерева в каскадному стилі, побудований у 1925 році), а також сам красивий водоспад Малтнома. З легкодоступного оглядового майданчика відкривається повний вид на міст Бенсона та каскадні водоспади за ним.

6

Бонневільський інкубатор

Ми витратимо близько 20 хвилин на коротку пішохідну екскурсію по цьому вражаючому рибному заводу (найбільшому в Орегоні) і центру огляду осетрових! У оглядовому центрі ми відвідаємо місцеву знаменитість: осетра «Германа». Герману більше 70 років, він має довжину 10 футів і вагу 450 фунтів!
