We took a 5-hour historical steamboat ride on The Columbia Gorge from Cascade Locks through the lock at Bonneville dam and down the Columbia River quite aways. We were able to see several of the waterfalls on the Oregon side of the river. The two eagles in the tree was an extra special treat. The Indians have the right to "dip net" fish from the Bonneville Dam back up river to The Dalles Dam. They don't use poles but "dip nets" and stand out at the far end of the platforms.
