The Bingen / White Salmon area is ideally located at the east end of the fabled Columbia River Gorge, in the rain-shadow zone east of the Cascades where “The Sun Greets the Rain”. It is an incredibly diverse area for nature and humans alike, supporting a huge range of scenic and ecological zones, as well as an almost limitless range of human activities.

Below are a sample of some of the current events and hilites of the area.
