So many Western WA posts get upvoted. I thought people should see the beauty of Eastern WA.
I was wondering where I took that picture! I knew it was during my drive to Tacoma but couldn’t remember where. Had my DSLR on me.
Also nice shot. The clouds add a lot of drama.
Thanks! It was my first time being that far west and it was a stunning welcome for sure
Definitely a popular lookout and photo stop on the way.
Right off 90. Nice.
Yes, westbound I-90, just east of Vantage.
That’s not The Columbia River Gorge then I think. It’s like, the Columbia River, in a gorge. The Columbia River Gorge is between Portland and Kennewick area specifically. Not that it really matters.
The geology out there is pretty amazing. Giant fucking lava flows covered everything millions of years ago and then there were cataclysmic ice age floods that carved out the gorges and whatnot. The Columbia river carried something like 13 times the volume of the Amazon River at times during the floods.
Thanks to Nick Zentner, I literally know more about Eastern WA than I do about my home state lol
Love the eastern or/wa desert!
It’s it own kind of beauty
