| Program Description |
Lewis and Clark Rock and Roll: How the geology of the Columbia River Gorge impacted Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. In peril Lewis and Clark rode the Columbia River through whirling constricted narrows and frothy boulder strewn rapids, were humbled by forceful wind that stopped their canoes, retreated to a basalt fortress when arriving at a cultural divide, and encamped miserable in persistent rain, and portaged the wicked Grande Chute. Students will explore the intersection between the geologic story of the Columbia Gorge and Lewis and Clark?s epic journey. As they learn the geologic story of the land from Celilo Falls to Beacon Rock, and hear the Journal writings left by the Corps of Discovery, students will gain appreciation of both the power of nature and the fortitude of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. |

The Rock Fort site is described, and why they felt they needed a fort 5. Why was "Windy Camp" windy and rainy? 6. What caused Cascade Rapids? 7.
