We had a wonderful day! We began our trip at Bonneville Dam at the visitor's center on the Washington side. We learned about how the dam had been added onto back in the 80s and we had to figure out the steps it takes to go from water to lighting up a light bulb. We then took a very long stairway down to a catwalk over a hydro-electrical turbine. It was clear on top so that you could see it working...very cool! We then walked over to where the fish ladder was and talked salmon.
We ate lunch at Fort Cascade and then drove to Beacon Rock for our ascent! We had just a little rain on the way up. The kids did a great job being safe and making their way to the top. We then rewarded ourselves with some ice cream at the East Wind Drive-in in Cascade Locks. Enjoy the pictures!
