Best Time to Cruise the Columbia and Snake Rivers
The Columbia and Snake Rivers offer a journey through some of the Pacific Northwest's most captivating landscapes. Imagine this: extensive forests with towering evergreens, dramatic canyons carved by centuries of water flow, and rolling hills that stretch out in a patchwork of green and gold. The climate along these rivers is just as diverse, as the ever changing landscapes.
The prime cruising months are from April to October. The Columbia River gorge weather is perfect for exploring. In spring and early summer, the landscape bursts to life with blooming wildflowers and fresh greenery, creating a vibrant backdrop for your travels. As you move into the height of summer, you'll enjoy long, sunny days and clear skies, perfect for outdoor activities and soaking up the sun. Come fall, the scenery transforms as the leaves turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow, adding a breathtaking contrast to the ever-present greens and blues of the rivers.
Each bend in the river offers new and stunning vistas, from the imposing cliffs of the Columbia River Gorge to the rolling vineyards of Eastern Washington.
