Stress in our modern lives comes from many places. The body has the ability to respond and manage a certain amount, but when it begins to overflow, it can affect all aspects of our lives. It can lead to weight gain, poor sleep, hormone imbalances, and illness. It can also affect our personal and professional relationships. Exercise is also a stress on our body, but if we choose the correct type for us, it can be a huge stress reliever.

Visit Bonneville Lock and Dam
 Located in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area 28 miles east of Gresham, Bonneville Lock and Dam forms a connecting link between Oregon and Washington. It was the first federal lock and dam on the Columbia and Snake rivers and was built between 1933 and 1937. The Dam was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 1986.
In addition to enjoying views of migrating fish moving through underwater fishways, visitors at the Bradford Island Visitor Center on the Oregon Shore will find a five-level facility with an observation deck, exhibits, a large theater and all-glass exterior walls showcasing a panoramic view of the Columbia River Gorge. Visitors can watch the navigation lock in operation and see the generators from a walkway 85-feet above the powerhouse. The Visitor Center is open daily with the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
