No understanding of the Pacific Northwest region would be complete without an appreciation of the incredible impact the Columbia River has had on local culture. In North America, the only river that discharges more water is the Mississippi; in the western hemisphere, no river exceeds the Columbia’s discharge into the Pacific Ocean. The drainage area for the Columbia extends as far east as the Rocky Mountain Continental Divide and Yellowstone National Park, as far north as central British Columbia, and as far south as northern Nevada.
