Klickitat County has a gold mine of ’em all!

A special publication of The Goldendale Sentinel

Welcome, folks!

To know why Klickitat County is such an amazing area to explore, you gotta see it from my perspective.

Growing up here has been an awesome adventure with no shortage of outdoor activities in splendorous surroundings.

Whether camping in the forest, visiting the Trout Lake Ice Caves, huckleberry picking, hiking, or sampling our many wineries - except they won’t let me in any of ‘em :( - there’s plenty to do on dry land. Prefer water? We’ve got fabulous fishing, thrilling white water rafting,

We begin our journey here…

kayaking, and we’re known as one of the wind surfing capitals of the world. And if you like events, there are fairs and rodeos galore in warm weather from one end of the county to the other - although they make me watch from a distance.

If all that weren’t enough, we’re also venue to the awardwinning Maryhill Museum and Maryhill Winery (MHW), sideby-side overlooking the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge.

And we’ve got so many other wonderful wineries, we had to devote a whole directory to all

of them!

There’s also the astronomically awesome (and famous) Goldendale Observatory, not to mention our very own true-tolife Stonehenge.

I can’t do justice to all we have to offer with these few introductory words; so, instead, please join me on a phenomenal journey full of photographic wonders in the following pages.

Enjoy!

Mt Adams ‘Bout time You’re back!

Pinchot Gifford Forest al Nation

We’re starting our adventure at the western edge of Klickitat County in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, near Trout Lake. It encompasses 1,368,300 acres including Mt. Adams’ wonderful wilderness. There’s something for everyone here - breakfast over the fire*, Ice Caves, Natural Bridges, and the Upper/Middle/ Lower Lewis River Falls. Get directions to all these from the Trout Lake Ranger (509-395-3400).

You’ll be delighted to find magnificent Mt. Adams watching over most of our journey through the county.

Second only to Mt. Shasta, it’s the largest (not tallest) mountain in mass and area on the entire west coast of the U.S. So because we’re so close to it here, it looms in splendor. stateparks.com - and look under “National Forests.”

The spectacular geography of Gifford is largely influenced by Mt. Adams. During its volcanic heyday, lava ran freely from this monumental mount. As it dried, lava tubes were form ed.

Some collapsed to create amazing ice caves. Others form ed arched, natural bridges whole families can walk over. Visiting these, we’ll experience both ends of the temperature spectrum, so dress in layers!

On our ice capade, we’ll need sturdy well -treaded shoes because the cave’s floor is mighty slick! And be sure everyone has their own flashligh t, ‘cause it’s dark!. Heck, just read the caut ion sign below!

Trails run across the top of both the cave s and the bridges. The Trout Lake Ranger Station on 141 (509-395-3400) can direct you to both. Just be sure to look below for any lurking troll s! resa Patrick & The

You want legends, you say? We ll, Native Americans in our area have some very cool ones about what they call the three "smoking mo untains" (Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. St. Helens) that guard the Columbia River - see facing page.

The Bridge of the Gods tale has it that Wy'east (Mt. Hood) and Pahto (Mt. Adams; also called Paddo or Klickitat by native peoples) were the sons of the Great Spirit. These two mountainous brothers compet ed for the love of the beautiful La-wala-clough (Mt. St. Helens). When La-wa-la-clough chose Pahto (Mt .

Adams), Wy'east (Mt. Hood) stru ck his brother hard enough to flat ten his head before stealing La-wala-clough from him. In other ver sion s of the tale, losing La-wa-la-clou gh caused Pahto such grief, he dropped his head in shame.

History

d t Hoo us M o l a e J

NatGeo’s “L ewis & Cla rk: Great Jo urney West”

In 1805 the Lewis and Clark Expedition recorded seeing Mt. Adams.

They misidentified it as Mt. St. Helens, which had been previously discovered and named. This is the earliest recorded sighting of the volcano by European explorers.

Between 1830 and 1834 Hall J. Kelley led a campaign to rename the Cascade Range as the President's Range and also to rename each major Cascade mountain after a former President of the United States. Mount Adams was not known to Kelley and was thus not in his plan. Mt. Hood, in fact, was designated by Kelley to be renamed after President John Adams but a mistake by a mapmaker placed the Mt. Adams name north of Mt. Hood and about 40 miles (64 km) east of Mt. St. Helens. By sheer coincidence there was in fact a large mountain there to receive the moniker.

Since the mountain had no official name at the time, Mt. Adams stuck, even though the rest of Kelley’s plan failed.

The Legend of BigFoot ...or is it “legend”? An d if not, just how man y of these elusive and supposedly intelli gent creatures with hu man-like faces are there?

The Bigfoot figure is co mmon to the folklore of most Northwest Native American tribe s. Native American Bi gf oo t legends usually describe the creature s as around 6-9 feet ta ll, very strong, hairy, uncivilized, and often foul-smelling, usually living in the woods and often foraging at night. Native America n Bigfoot creatures ar almost always said to e be unable to speak hu man languages, using whistles, grunts, and gestures to communica te with each other. In some stories, male Bi gfeet are said to be ab le to mate with human women. In some Nativ e stories, Bigfoot may have minor supernatural powers-- the abili ty to turn invisible, fo r example-- but they are always considered physical creatures of the forest, not spirits or ghosts. (See nativelanguages.org/legends -bigfoot.htm for more info.)

Fact or fiction? Find ou t for yourself. But don’t wander too far!

While hiking on the Klickitat Trail, fishing on the Klickitat River, or just going for a leisurely stroll almost anywhere throughout the county, especially in the forest or other wooded areas, keep your eye out for phenomenal wildlife like the ones shown here.

Sometimes they’re in the open, too.

Klickitat Trail has access points at Klickitat Depot Park and about three miles north at Horseshoe Ben d Rd. More info at: klickitat-trail.org/ (also see page 21).

And there’s a scenic drive up Centerville Hwy that starts on the west edge of Lyle and just east of SR 142. Gobblers are known to hang out here.

Penny Bailey

Greg Olsen The Valley of the Little Klickitat, being one of the paths less-traveled in Klickitat County, invokes a sense of wonder in almost everyone who experiences it for the first time. That’s been true for more than 150 years when Oregon Trail pioneers were crossing the Columbia River from The Dalles by the thousands to come north. Back then, the only humans in the Valley were roving bands of Native Americans who found the Valley a rich source of resources that fully sustained and supported their nomadic lifestyles.

That the first pioneer settlers wouldn’t arrive until 1858, nearly two decades after the Oregon Trail migration began, speaks to a place that went

largely unexplored by settlers seeking homesteads in the West.

Wagon trains first made their appearance in The Dalles in 1843; but the first recorded activity in the Valley of the Little Klickitat, other than fur trading, was that of legendary cattleman Ben Snipes in 1855.

At 21, entrepreneurial Snipes secured financing for a herd of cattle.

Through a Native American friend, he then discovered the Valley of the Little Klickitat, where he moved his herd. It wasn’t until 1859 that settlers began filing for homesteads in the region – but it was Snipes’ cattle, grazing in the swales of the valley, that put a stamp on the region that -persists to this day.

Today, every spring, an important and revered tradition occurs in the valley called “working the cattle.” When the snows melt off the Simcoe Mountains (just north of Goldendale), ranchers, who’ve spent the winter hauling hay to their herds in the valley, drive this cattle to the mountain pastures.

Before they’re turned out, branding, shots, ear tags, and other important work must be completed. These activities allow families, friends and acquaintances to gather together for work, food, fun, and festivity.

Before hunting season begins in the fall, the cattle are again rounded up and driven back to the winter feeding grounds. It’s another chance to witness the cattle drive.

This is one of the few places in the West where one can still say, “I was held up by a cattle drive.” If you’re lucky enough to encounter one, smile and wave. The cowboys and cowgirls will return the wave, making you part of a century-long tradition. == Jim Link

Goldendale became host to the only hanging ever to occur in Klickitat County on April 6, 1888. Conv icted murderer, Henry Timmerman, faced his doom whil e straddling his coffin, smoking a cigar and downing a quart of whiskey. Local legend has it that standing on the gallows waiting for the noose to be fitted, he decla red his innocence for the final time and told the crowd if they proceeded with the hanging, within three months, the town would burn to the ground, and he would rise from the grave to kill everyone responsible for his wron gful execution.

On May 13, 1888, 27 days after Timmerman’s hang ing, a fire did indeed break out in downtown Goldenda le, burning its seven main blocks to the ground. Timm erman’s grave was also found open and empty! His remains were later recovered and reburied in an unmarke d grave, and the rest of the curse was left unfulfilled. Perh aps reburying him satisfied his restless soul.

Brooks Memorial State Park St. John’s Greek Coffee Shop is about 10 miles north of Goldendale on the east side of 97. Here you’ll find yummy, homemade sweet and savory Greek delicacies.

A bit further north on the west side of 97 is Brooks Memorial State Park, a 700acre, year-round camping park. It has over 9 miles of hiking trails along the Little Klickitat River and up through the Ponderosa and Oregon Pine forests. At the top are open mountain meadows with a panoramic view of Mount Hood. Visitors may see deer, beaver dams, squirrels, spring wildflowers, and a variety of birds.

Brooks is a Washington State Park, so a Discover Pass is required unless it’s a Free Day*. *parks.wa.gov/167/Discover-Pass-Fees

Bickleton Bluebirds Bea utif ul Blu ebir ds all sum mer long !

Whoop-n-Holler Museum There’s so much to do and see in Bickleton, it needs three full pages! It’s about an hour east of Goldendale on Bickleton Hwy - and what a scenic drive that is!

Known as the “Bluebird Capital of the World”, residents work year-round to keep the little houses maintained and ready for the next generation of Bluebirds. You’ll see these lovely little feathered friends throughout the eastern part of Klickitat County.

For the classic car buff, a visit to the Whoop-n-Holler Museum is a must. This is an amazing collection of vintage cars, some purchased long ago and still new! See their ad below.

Another must-see is Bickleton’s Carousel Museum in downtown Bickleton and operated by the Alder Creek Pioneer Association. Yes, there’s actually a beautifully restored, antique carousel there.

And if you’re in town for the rodeo (turn the page), you’ll be amazed. This is the oldest rodeo in the state of Washington and draws quite a crowd!

As far as accommodations and fare go, the Bluebird Inn is the oldest tavern in the state of Washington, and the Market Street Cafe offers delicious home-town food along with great hospitality.

Whoopn-Holle feature r s one of the larg antique est & class collecti i c ons of a utos in state , w th e ith Mod el-T Fo vintage rds, pickups , even a ancient n horse-d rawn sl ed on run ners!
