It's hard to get a feel for the size of the cliffs from a picture. The trees at the base are 20 to 30 foot cottonwoods.
The cliffs go on for several miles.
This looked vaguely like an old fortification, but it is simply the way that the layers of volcanic ash erode. Unlike the basalt cliffs of most of the Columbia, this area has soft clay-like cliffs. The current kept me busy at the helm and photos took second place.

Here is somebody who may have misjudged the current.
There were quite a few obstructions and the current could be challenging.
Then the river started to get lively. This is not a green can buoy. It is marking an underwater obstruction.

I pulled into the launch site in Richland only to find out that a boat show was starting in the morning. There were at least 50 shiny new boats at the park. I was told to get to the launch early and there would not be a problem.
