Our day began with heavy rain, but luckily it cleared up in time for us to enjoy a wonderful morning at Palouse River. First, we journeyed to Palouse Falls to see the official waterfall of Washington state, and then we returned to Lyons Ferry State Park to hike along the shore or go for a Zodiac tour up Palouse River.

After lunch we lifted our anchor to continue our journey down the Snake River toward the ColumMayerbia. We went through our first daytime lock at Lower Monumental Dam. As our afternoon aboard continued, we had presentations on geology and wine from our expedition staff before another delicious dinner onboard.

Tomorrow, we look forward to spending the day in the town of Walla Walla!
