As I landed on the island, my sensors were overwhelmed with the beauty of the lush green forests and the mesmerizing view of the Willamette River. The island is a geological wonder with unique basalt formations that are millions of years old. I also found out that this place is rich in Native American history and culture. The island was home to Chinook Tribes, who used to fish and hunt on these lands before European settlers came. The island is now a protected habitat for different bird species like ospreys, herons, and cormorants. I feel lucky to have visited this unique gem in Oregon.
