if you go that way you will be within an hour of Dry Falls State Park which is worth an overnight, especially if it is around the new moon/dark skies

The campground is in a box canyon that obscures light pollution and makes it like stargazing from the bottom of a well. The stars are visible clear to the horizon

Heaven!

It sad that it’s becoming that way with a lot of places around here. I wish folks would focus on no impact more.

Doubt it would look this way if it were public

I kayak here every once in a while and it has been really sad to see the degradation of such an incredible place. As much I love seeing pictures of spirit, I’m glad the land owner cut off hike in access :/

The Rock House is my favorite spot to shoot there, but I also love Ash Cave. Need to get back there sometime.

So this is where Trump was talking about?

I don’t know for sure man, that’s just what it sounds like he said. I live on the other side of the country, in the mountains of East Tennessee, where right now everything is mostly brown and we can’t wait for all the beautiful green to come back!

Thanks!!

Beautiful shot!!

You're not the only one lol, that's what we called it during the whole journey there!

What a shame that something like this is privately owned.

Me too!

Haha not a bad setup.

It’s great in all seasons!

One of my favorite places. We always go in the fall but apparently it’s even better in the winter!

Despite the negative press cofete

I love that place.

Beautiful!!! But tbh, I read this as 'cofefe beach' and unfortunately thought of donald duck. haha

Highway 20 is closed during the winter due to avalanche danger. And yes, shorts weather is about that degree range over here. The west side of the cascades, I'd say probably 50° on the low end just because of the humidity. The east side is dryer, so shorts weather is more of what you're accustomed to over here. The entire state is incredibly geologically diverse, from the rain forests on the peninsula, to the San Juan Islands and puget sound, the cascades range, to the channeled scablands in the central part of the state, awesome forests in the NE corner, down to the walla walla Valley, blue mountains, and clarkston in the SE corner, which is the gateway to hells canyon. There is a LOT to check out here! :)

Dude, I would totally build my base here.

Beautiful!

I can see the rain dropping out of the clouds. I love to see a downpour from a distance. Those clouds above - OMG. The sun on the edge, as though it's taking a look at the end of the day. This is such an incredible picture. Definitely worthy of framed print(s).

Oh, good. Very cool picture!
