Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Jim Zim.
If visiting Mount St. Helens, aim for June, July, or August for better views as clouds can obscure the crater in May.
Use a travel agent to help coordinate flights to Lewiston because the airport is very small with few flight options.
Take the Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery excursion; it is highly recommended for the views and facilities.
Get up early to see the ship sail through the dams and under the bridges.
Book the Richland Legacy Excursion to learn about the area's atomic past.
Visit a local vineyard for wine tasting if you're a wine lover.
Book an extra night at the hotel before the cruise to ensure time for jetboat excursion.
Book your next cruise through Caitlin Gallagher at Ambrun Travel for expert service on American Cruise Lines.
