Priest Rapids was a narrow, fast flowing stretch of the Columbia River , located in the central region of the U.S. state of Washington U.S. state Washington . It was flooded by the construction of the Priest Rapids Dam in the 1950s. Before the dam s construction, the river dropped 20 feet 6 m over a short distance. In total Priest Rapids consisted of seven separate cataracts along a 9 mile 14 km stretch, over which the river dropped 72 feet 22 m altogether. ref cite book last Dorpat first Paul coauthors Genevieve McCoy title Building Washington A History of Washington State Public Works year 1998 publisher Tartu Publications isbn 0 9614357 9 8 page 25 ref It was given the name Priest Rapids by Alexander Ross fur trader Alexander Ross of the Pacific Fur Company in 1811. Ross wrote of his visit to the strong and rocky rapid where he met a man called Haquilaugh, which signifies priest. Haquilaugh was an influential Wanapum leader, for whom Ross gave the rapids its English name. At Priest Rapids the Columbia River narrowed and flowed quickly, making it an ideal salmon fishing site. There were several rapids and fishing sites, and a dozen or so Wanapum villages along the west bank of the Columbia River at Priest Rapids. Priest Rapids Dam , built in the 1950s, submerged Priest Rapids, taking advantage of the river s drop for Hydroelectricity hydroelectric power production.

Each boat holds four people. After the boats are loaded, they slide off the conveyor into the channel, where they make a gradual left hand turn into the first tunnel, which crosses under the lift hill. After emerging from the tunnel, boats turn left and meander along, before turning right again, into the second tunnel. After emerging, boats make a left hand turn, followed by a 180 degree turnaround onto the lift hill. As the boats ascend, the familiar click clack of the anti slide back device is heard. At the top, boats descend the drop, passing through an on ride camera , before making a left hand u turn into the station.
