Klickitat County Views

Klickitat County Washington is located east of Portland/Vancouver in the drier Columbia River Gorge region. There are many small towns and communities in Klickitat County with some being remotely located and accessed and even off the grid. Beautiful scenery abounds in Klickitat County with many mountain views and plenty of open sky.

Here are some views I've captured around Klickitat County over the years.

North Bonneville, Washington-Bonneville Dam fish viewing

The Bonneville Dam second powerhouse and fish viewing room are worth visiting if you are in the area. The displays are informative and interesting.
