Washington

sunrise over the mountains
The beautiful landscapes here are even more gorgeous at sunset and sunrise. Accommodation is poor, however. Uncomfortable beds and dirty, shared restrooms. The upside is that you'll be up early enough to watch the sunrise, I guess.

The greatest waterfall the world has ever seen?  That's what geologists tell us happened 20,000 years ago when a large glacial lake in Montana broke through it's 2000 foot tall (641 m) ice dam and flooded eastern Washington and Idaho with 600 cubic miles of water (2,500 cubic km).  The flood water rushed over this 400ft tall (121 m) ridge at 65mph (104 kmh), generating a flow roughly 10 times larger than the flow of all the world's rivers combined!  This happened roughly 40 times over a 2000-year period.

Today, Dry Falls is a state park with hiking trails, water sports and campgrounds.  Stop by the visitor's center for more info.

One of the most scenic concert locations in the world, The Gorge Amphitheatre. As you enjoy live music, take in the sweeping and majestic views of the Columbia River as it skirts the foothills of the Cascade Range southbound. During a show, you'll be looking west and behind the stage, you can watch the sun set over the Columbia Gorge canyon.
