Creator's Key Takeaways

Multimma Falls is just ridiculously gorgeous. Make sure you have your camera with you. And I want to point out this viewing area that is just about to come into view.

The scenery was wonderful as we cruised down the river and the places we visited along the way were really interesting and the activities were a lot of fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Make sure you have your camera with you at Multnomah Falls.
βœ“Use the accessible viewing area at Multnomah Falls if you are using a scooter or wheelchair.
βœ“Consider the 16-day, 15-night version of the Columbia River cruise if you want more time in destinations.

YouTube Video Description↓

It's the final episode in my six-part series about cruising on the Columbia River with American Cruise Lines. In this episode, the ship will go through the locks at the Bonneville Dam. Then we'll sail under the Bridge Of The Gods, on the way to our final destination, Stevenson Washington. From there, we take an excursion to a ridiculously beautiful waterfall... before finally having to say goodbye, and flying home. This is the most scenic episode in this series because we're sailing through a spectacularly beautiful area known as the Columbia River Gorge. I'd have to say that, thanks to all the gorgeous scenery, it's the best episode of the entire series. Saved the best one for last!
