Columbia and Snake Rivers

Trip Highlights

Explore the storied waterways of the Pacific Northwest as we take in spectacular scenery, tour museums and historic sites. Witness the region’s geological wonders—from the Columbia River Gorge to Multnomah Falls and Beacon Rock—and explore up close and at water level while hiking, kayaking, or Zodiac cruising. A top team—including naturalists, a historian, and a geologist—will illuminate all we see, and a food and wine expert will guide us through the wild bounty that thrives in this fertile corner of the country. MIT travelers will cruise on board with other special-interest travelers and in the company of Lindblad naturalists.
