Frequently Asked Questions
Right along the city’s riverfront, on the Columbia. River vessels working up the Columbia and the Snake tie up within walking distance of Howard Amon Park and downtown.
Yes. The riverside walk is flat and shaded, and Howard Amon Park starts practically at the landing. The REACH Museum can be reached by trail or a few minutes by vehicle; the vineyards, however, need an excursion.
Follow the bank to Howard Amon Park, walk a stretch of the Sacagawea Heritage Trail, then visit the REACH Museum. If the excursion is offered, the Red Mountain vineyards easily fill the other half of the day.
