We know the area well and can provide information and direction to the Columbia Valley’s many summer and winter activities. We participate in and enjoy many of these activities ourselves and would be more than happy to provide personalized guiding services if desired. 

You might not know in addition to its artist community, the Columbia Valley is also becoming increasingly well known for bird watching. The Columbia River wetlands stretch over 160 km from Canal Flats in the south to Golden in the north. It’s a protected area, so bird life flourishes. The valley is also a major flight path for many migrating birds. The 6th annual Columbia Valley Bird Festival -- "Wings Over the Rockies" --  will take place May 5-11, 2003. It is a very popular event and it continues to grow rapidly. Check their web site at www.adventurevalley.com/wings.
