The tour will be open to friends and family members. BOAT TRIP UP THE HANFORD REACH If there is enough interest, there will be a 4-5 hour jet boat excursion up the Hanford Reach on Sunday morning. The Hanford Reach of the Columbia River is the last free-flowing stretch of the river between the headwaters and the estuary. Because of the closed status of the Hanford Reservation, the Reach has been protected from commercial and agricultural development for more than 50 years. It has a rich fishery and plentiful wildlife and is a candidate for designation as a Wild and Scenic River. The question of exactly how the Hanford Reach should be protected in the future and by whom has become a national political issue. Depending on the number who sign up, the cost will be $31 or $35 per person.
