Wherever you go in the world, the landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes you encounter all have stories to tell. Those stories might be about how that place was formed, how its wildlife has evolved, how we understand the processes that shaped it, or how it has inspired artists, writers, and musicians. No matter what the story is, knowing how to read it and understand it makes any trip more worthwhile, whether it's to the park down the street or a city on the other side of the globe. The purpose of Voyages is to help tell these stories, to enrich travel to the places that tell them, and build understanding of the world around us.

In the final episode of our exploration of the Missoula Floods, we travel to the Columbia River Gorge and the Willamette Valley, where the human side of the floods' story becomes clear. Join me to discover how the floods shaped indigenous culture, how they instigated an economic cold war between Britain and the US, how they made the continent's largest overland migration possible, and how they changed the face of travel in America.
