Our 2015 Journey through Klickitat County Visitors' Guide

2015

Welcome, folks!

If you’re wondering what’s so great about Klickitat County, as a resident and traveler of this vast area, I can answer: everything!

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

Whether camping in the forest, visiting the Trout Lake Ice Caves or alpaca farm, huckleberry picking, hiking, or sampling our many wineries, there’s plenty to do on dry land.

Prefer water? We’ve got fabulous fishing, thrilling white

Our journey begins here…

water rafting, 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.

If all that weren’t enough, we’re also venue to the awardwinning Maryhill Museum and Maryhill Winery (MHW), both side-by-side overlooking the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge. And we sure don’t mind bragging that as of October 2014, MHW was ranked #10 in the world and #2 in the U.S.!

Considering how many other fantastic wineries there are here, you’re in for a treat!

There’s also the astronomically famous Goldendale Observatory and our very own true-to-life 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!

Gifford Pinchot National Forest

Our journey begins at the western edge of Klickitat County in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, near Trout Lake (the Gateway to Gifford.) It encompasses 1,368,300 acres including Mt. Adams and its wonderful wilderness. There’s something for everyone, such as breakfast over the fire*, Ice Caves, Alpacas, 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; but here, in and around Trout Lake, it looms in splendor. That’s because it’s in Trout Lake’s backyard AND, 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. stateparks.com/gifford_pinchot_national_forest_in_washington.html

Ice Caves

Natural Bridges

Back before freezers were eve ryday appliances, barges wo uld cross the Columbia River to carry this natural resource, in chipped form, from the Ice Ca ves back to Hood River.

Before hitting the caves, sto p by Meadow Rock Alpaca Annex (see their ad below) to deligh t in these adorable critters and pick up some of their luxurious wo olen sweaters, socks, scarve s and mittens to keep warm while you’re on ice. On your ice cap ade, you’ll also need sturdy well-t readed shoes because the cav e’s floor is mighty slick! And be sure everyone has their own flashlight, ‘cause it’s dark!. Heck, just read the caution sign bel ow!

At the other end of this area’s temperature spectrum are nat ural bridges, formed from col lapsed lava tubes. Trails run acr oss the top of both the caves 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 trolls!

Just north of the gas station on 141 in Trout Lake , you gotta see the view these Meadow Rock alpacas have of Mt Adams!!

And their wool is SUPER soft!

Car is King weekend

If you’re into old cars, you’ll love our Car is King Weekend the first Saturday & Sunday in October. On Saturday, October 3, 2015, vintage, classic, antique and muscle cars are displayed on the grounds of Maryhill Museum of Art. The next day many of these same cars compete in an uphill climb on Maryhill Loops Road, the first asphalt road built in Washington by Sam Hill. Full of hairpin turns, it runs sort of parallel to Hwy 97. It’s open only for special occasions like this one (and the next page).

This two-fer car event is brought to us by the Goldendale Motorsport Association (GMA). More info at GoldendaleMotorsports.org.

If you need auto parts while at the event or anywhere around Goldendale, stop by CARQUEST, and get a free ice cream with the ad below.

After the grueling Festival of Speed, we’ll visit beautiful an d relaxing Maryhill State Park an d campgrounds, right on the Columbia River. It’s part of WA State Parks, so unless it’s a free da y*, you’ll need a Discover Pass to enter. It’s right next to the lov ely little town of Maryhill that will de light your eye in the spring wi th the blossoming fruit orchards and quench your palate in the summ er with luscious fruit, honey, and other delectables. It’s also a stone’s throw from our very own true-to-scale Stonehenge (turn the page for more on this). *Find “Free Days” at parks.w a.gov/167/DiscoverPass-Fees.

king on Hood loo t M h it le w Goldenda 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 unex-

plored 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 was able to secure 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.

by Pe nny B ailey

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. Con victed murderer, Henry Timmerman, faced his doom while straddling his coffin, smoking a cigar and downing a quart of whiskey. Local legend has it that stan ding on the gallows waiting for the noose to be fitted, he declared his innocence for the final time and told the crowd if they proceeded with the hanging, within thre e months, the town would burn to the ground, and he wou ld rise from the grave to kill everyone responsible for his wrongful execution.

On May 13, 1888, 27 days after Timmerman’s hanging, a fire did indeed break out in downtown Gold endale, burning its seven main blocks to the ground. Timm erman’s grave was also found open and empty!

His remains were later found and reburied in an unm arked grave, and the rest of the curse was left unfulfille d. Perhaps reburying him satisfied his restless soul.

Stop by Presby Mansion to learn about other fasc inating local legends.

Brooks Memorial State Park

About 10 miles north of Goldendale on 97 is St. John’s Greek Coffee Shop & Restaurant where we’ll stop for yummy, homemade Greek delicacies. And there’s a gift shop where you might want to pick up some luscious smelling soaps, lotions or incense for the unlucky ones back home who didn’t get to tag along with us.

A stone’s throw away from St. John’s and on the other side of 97 is Brooks Memorial State Park, a 700-acre, 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.

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

Bickleton Bluebirds Beaut iful Blueb irds all summ er 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 the ith Mod el-T Fo vintage rds, pickups , even a ancient n horse-d rawn sl ed on run ners!
