I had a great time with their 1/2 day trip in White Salmon River. Class 3/2 rapids in White Salmon River with great ecosystem. The White Salmon river flows with evergreen forest on one side and desert vegetation on the other side. The river flows through a huge lava pipe that was created by Volcanic Mt. Adams. The rocks are volcanic basalt and the view is great. There are huge caves which were used for the lava flow by the Mt. Adams. Overall, its an amazing place to visit/camp/raft and hike.

Customizing Google Maps





View Oregon Tour in a larger map


Google Maps allows you to add photos and custom icons for your travel map. You can create customized maps from My Maps section. Also, You can customize the location photographs to display your pictures.

The icons in the map can also be changed according to your taste. I have added the following icons


Lighthouse
Caves
POI

You can add a route with several location pointers. I have also added a custom polygon overlay to indicate special point of interest.

I have embedded pictures of my visit in the icons. Instead of the public picture from google maps, your picture will be loaded. You can check this by clicking on the icons.

The google-icons can be found here
