dalles mountain
Speaking of special places, here's one you may not know about. On the east end of the Columbia River Gorge sits Dalles Mountain. It's on the Washington side right across the river from The Dalles, Oregon. Spring wild-flower lovers come from a hundred miles away to see the amazing bloom. This year's cool Northwest weather has delayed and prolonged the show.
At the foot of Dalles Mountain is an award-winning Washington winery. In addition to the premium wines, outdoor summer concerts at the winery are a highlight for those of us who live nearby. http://www.maryhillwinery.com

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos - this may call for a road trip this Summer. We used to explore Eastern Washington more - before we moved here.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth! Our eastern WA exploring sure slowed down.
