The Rose City
Portland, Oregon
Art and expression reigns supreme in this Pacific Northwest city. Indulge in our Rose City Stay Package and enjoy the uniqueness of Portland and the majesty of Mount St. Helens, along with picturesque gardens, museums and an impressive local arts scene. “OCIAN IN VIEW! O! THE JOY!”
These are the original words, and spelling of “ocean,” William Clark scrawled in his journal on November 7, 1805. One could hardly blame him for forgetting his spelling lessons in all the excitement. Experience the same sense of excitement and wonder as your journey begins in Portland near the Pacific Ocean, the objective of Lewis and Clark’s expeditionary party, the Corps of Discovery. You will visit many historic, scenic and enjoyable sites along your Columbia and Snake River voyage to Clarkston. If you’re looking for something tailored more to a specific interest, you might enjoy the Premium Experience Excursion to the Walla Walla Wine Trail or a trip to the Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum.
