Ice Age Floods *FULL*
Travel the path of the great Ice Age Floods from Missoula to Portland on this always popular geology, birding, and wildlife tour. Our journey begins in western Montana, where a great lake once covered 3,000 square miles of land, before bursting through a massive ice dam and carving many of the geologic wonders we marvel at today. From the giant ripples of Camas Prairie to the astonishing channeled scablands of eastern Washington, the dizzying Grand Coulee, and the awesome Columbia River Gorge, this tour keeps you in the flow throughout.
With visits to impressive wildlife reserves like the Bison Range and Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge included, you’ll enjoy an amazing and unique natural history adventure.
Notes on Accessibility: This trip will include a combination of van-based birding, short walks on well-graded trails, and some hikes on uneven ground (1-4 miles), including occasional steep stretches.
