Columbia River Google Earth Dam Tour
Buckle up and enjoy this breathtaking aerial tour of the mighty Columbia River. The journey starts at the river's headwaters at Columbia Lake in British Columbia and ends at the Pacific Ocean, west of Astoria, Oregon. The view takes you about a mile up (or 1.6 kilometers) while moving at approximately three times the speed of sound. You'll also get a brief stop at each dam along the way out to the ocean. So pull that seatbelt tight for this one-of-a-kind flight over one of the Pacific Northwest's most valuable and beloved resources.
