Welcome to the summit!The 2006 Ag Media Summit is upon us and is looking to be one of the best Summits ever. Portland, and the Northwest, is a spectacular area to hold an event and in order to see some of the local terrain we have added pre-Summit tours. On Saturday and Sunday before the Summit begins there will be five fun and educational tours. Saturday offers three options: A winery tour, a white water rafting excursion and a chance to hike and take a nature walk in the Columbia Gorge area known for its beautiful waterfalls. For Sunday there are two options: the Hood River The Hood River is a tributary of the Columbia River in northwestern Oregon in the United States. Approximately 25 mi (40 km) long from its mouth to its farthest headwaters on the East Fork, the river descends from wilderness areas in the Cascade Range on Mount Hood and flows tour will travel through the spectacular Columbia Gorge to Hood River, Oregon's prime tree fruit country. The Livestock tour option will take us through the Willamette Valley The Willamette Valley (pronounced [wɪˈlæ.mɪt], with the accent on the second syllable) is the region in northwest Oregon in the United States that surrounds the Willamette River as it proceeds northward from its to visit a variety of livestock operations including a beef outfit near the end of the Oregon Trail Oregon Trail, overland emigrant route in the United States from the Missouri River to the Columbia River country (all of which was then called Oregon). The pioneers by wagon train did not, however, follow any single narrow route. and a stop at a Jersey/Holstein dairy that is home to Willamette Valley Cheese, an artisan cheesemaking operation.
