Long and Short Narrows:http://columbiariverimages.com/Regions/Places/long_narrows_short_narrows.htmlSome sense of the Short Narrows is still to be found on the river today. While the pool level of Bonneville Dam has inundated the rapids to some extent, one can still gain a sense of what it would have been like here when the river was several feet lower than today.
