Columbia River

I am the Columbia River.

Rolling on from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

I'm older than dirt but still new to Twitter.

Follow me ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

229 years ago today, Captain Robert Gray named me Columbia's River. I had other names before and after.

This map is an excerpt from a chart of the #PNW, sketched while on board Columbia Rediviva in 1791-1792.

Good morning! Here’s a timelapse to bless your timeline this Friday. Earlier this week I got to watch the sunset from the Columbia River where the Keller Ferry crosses. Hopefully you can remind yourself to slow down & enjoy the simple things in life as we head into the weekend.

A Crucial River Treaty Is Tangled in Trump’s Feud With Canada

Negotiations over the Columbia River basin could affect the environment in Canada and electrical generation and flood control in the United States.

The 60-year-old treaty governs the water rushing down the Columbia River, which snakes from British Columbia through Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, and provides the single largest source of hydropower in the United States. But parts of the treaty expired around the U.S. presidential election.

There are some days in the Gorge when I just have to sit back & stare in awe. Yesterday was one of those.

This Sunday, 60 Minutes travels to the mouth of the Columbia River in Washington, one of the most dangerous inlets in America. Nearly 700 lives have been lost to its waves and currents. The surfmen, an elite rescue group within the Coast Guard, train here. https://t.co/mEN4CWeXMW

Best nude beach I’ve ever been to was Collins Beach on Sauvie Island in Oregon right on the @ColumbiaRiver . I’ll share more why later.
