Kennewick/Pasco/Richland - Nearby Destinations

Tourist destinations to consider near Kennewick/Pasco/Richland are listed below. Click on any name for complete information.



Columbia River Gorge
  Beginning just at Portland's doorstep, the Columbia River Gorge offers miles of unparalleled scenery and outdoor recreation options. The western end of the Gorge is rich, dense woodland, while in the east the landscape transitions into rolling, golden grasslands and sage-covered semiarid deserts.
     
Moses Lake
  Moses Lake appears unexpectedly in the middle of central Washington's flat farm country. The smell of earth and onions follows you into town on a warm day, the 18-miles of shimmering lake, named Chief Moses, lures visitors further on mid-summer. Local attractions revolve primarily around bird-spotting and bird-hunting. Moses Lake is located on the Pacific Flyway, the migratory waterfowl route of the west. Vast stretches of water used for irrigation often teem with waterfowl during the winter months.
     
Pendleton Population: 16500
 
     
Walla Walla Population: 30000
  At the foot of the Blue Mountains and nestled between rolling green hills, Walla Walla is best known nationally for onions. But modern Walla Walla is about more than agriculture. A five hour drive from Seattle and four hours from Portland, Walla Walla has begun to build a reputation as the 'Napa Valley' of Washington. With close to sixty boutique wineries, the city is fast becoming a destination on wine selection alone. The newly refurbished downtown area is rich in history and character. Whitman College, a few blocks out of downtown proper, blends seamlessly with the aged walnut-trees and turn-of the century homes that gracefully line the streets of old Walla Walla.
     
Yakima Population: 75000
  Sunny Yakima sprawls around the confluence of the Naches and Yakima Rivers. The tawny, dry hills that surround the city belie the fertility of the area. Central Washington's commercial hub, Yakima's climate and rich soil enable an extended growing season. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes, apricots, cherries, mint and hops are produced in Yakima, and then shipped on nationally. A number of wineries are open for tastings a short way out of Yakima. If you're after rather some physical activity, the rivers are the place. Stop in at Eschbach Park, rent an inner tube and kick back for a float down the Naches. Or, do some catch-and-release fishing in Yakima River Canyon for rainbow trout and a spin around in a ski boat.
