It was a windy, stunning, sunny, and vibrant day along the Columbia River Gorge! This morning, we traversed our first dam at Bonneville and made our way past the Bridge of Gods. After disembarking the ship, guests went to Multnomah Falls and saw some beautiful sights before splitting towards Beacon Rock or the hatchery at Bonneville Dam. Some of us hiked the mile up the 848-foot-tall basalt monolith, others did a nature walk, and the rest got to hang out at the hatchery with Herman the Sturgeon.

To top it all off, we ended the day at Syncline Winery for drinks and appetizers before returning to National Geographic Sea Bird to enjoy a gorgeous sunset. Onwards!
