This travelogue begins along the mighty Columbia River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean at Portland. The river passes through three dams which and the salmon have a difficult task of making it up Celilo Falls, a spot where many native fishermen await. Outside of Bend, Rasmus Petersen has constructed a miniature village composed primarily of volcanic rock, semi-precious stone and petrified wood. At Crater Lake National Park, its waters and its bears are our final views in this TravelTalk.
