DIY 4: Gates of the Mountains

This is not an ARARA field trip. We will gather names and contact info for those interested in this trip and then send it to the registrants for you to organize yourselves as you choose. 

Description: This is a commercial boat ride to the Gates of the Mountains with no walking required. There is a fee of $20/adult; $15/senior. The boat tour points out a panel of pictographs with an example of Foothills Abstract tradition images superimposed by Eastern Columbia Plateau images. A solid red smear produced an AMS date of 1280±50 BP or about AD 680-900 (Scott et al. 2005). At the Meriwether campground, where the boat stops for about 15 minutes, there is a pillar with penciled names of early historic visitors. Walking at the Meriwether campground is optional and is level.
