In 1996 a group of enthusiastic naturalists and adventurers got together with the desire to share the beauty of the Upper Columbia Valley with other like-minded people. Over the following years, the festival expanded from a birding event to a true nature festival. For over 25 years, the beautiful Upper Columbia Valley has celebrated the return of the Spring migration, and the re-awakening of nature, with the Wings over the Rockies Nature Festival. Come and join us May 6 – 12, for the week-long nature festival. Come join like-minded lovers of nature and enjoy the wonders of the Upper Columbia Valley.
