Mount Rainier National Park is a picturesque wilderness covering an area of 263,000 acres around Washington's highest peak. It boasts of wildflower meadows and glaciers that add to its breathtaking beauty. This national park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers who wish to admire the stunning views and hike the surrounding area. The magnificent landscape offers incredible photo opportunities, but it's hard to capture the full splendor in pictures alone.
Seriously!!! Wow!!! Such an amazing national park. This was our first trip to Washington state and we loved it! My wife and I hiked the silver falls trail. Unfortunately the park was closed for the winter, but we were still able to hike into the park. We will definitely be returning in the summer to enjoy the entire national park

Mt Rainier is absolutely gorgeous! It is a must visit on my list! The hiking trails by the visitor center are stunning. The drive up is also beautiful with waterfalls along it. It felt so magical being up in the clouds! I went in July and there was still snow on the trails but it made the hike more fun!

Wow this park was incredible. Views are amazing-even from the road! There were so many different hikes (our favorite was skyline trail at paradise) and you could even find hikes that were family friendly. Make sure to add this park to your bucket list. Be aware, there’s no gas stations in the park but they do have some just outside so plan accordingly.

Unbelievably beautiful! The views were amazing from all the hiking spots around Sunshine. Sourdough ridge and a few other shorter trails had great vistas, although there was too much smoke to see the peak of Mt. Rainier the day I was there.
I was thankful I had some extra layers with me, as it was very cold. It peaked at about 40F in the afternoon, despite being August. So for newbies, bring a hat and an extra jacket!
The rangers there in the morning gave fantastic tips for all the trails (and some spots to sit and sketch while avoiding damaging the delicate wildlife), and the gift shop was warm and lovely after my brisk hikes.

One of my favorite national parks. Got to visit in the fall. Our hike up was consumed by foggy mist, on the way down it cleared up though so we got to take in some of the views. A must go place!

Easily one of the most breathtaking U.S. national parks! Mount Rainier is a sight to see at least once in your life. This park is split into different sections due to the size and layout. We spent one day in Paradise and one day in Sunrise, with some stops in between. On a sunny day, you can see Mount Rainier from most places throughout the park. A cloudy day could definitely be a bummer. Unfortunately, our day in Sunrise was all cloud. There are a ton of amazing trails of various difficulties. Just do some research and pick your favorites! Be sure to get out there early so you’re not fighting for a parking spot. And try to go in the shoulder months, if possible. We opted for mid-September. Also, be mindful of the wildlife – the chipmunks will do anything for some of your food. One last thing… the elevation is a little high at points (I started feeling the effects while hiking the Skyline Trail) so just be sure to stay hydrated and take your time. I can’t wait to go back!

This is a gorgeous breathtaking national park that I had the opportunity to travel to back in 2019 and would love to go back. Every view seem to be more gorgeous than the first. I loved taking pictures here but they didn't do justice to the immense beauty. It's God country and would highly recommend going here if you hare ever in the area or just make a trip here to see it and hike the area.

20 stars!
Been here many times and it never gets old. Always something new. This time we went in June and there was still snow and ice out in places. Some roads were still closed at the top.
We wanted to see as much as possible and the waterfalls were on my list.
Wear good shoes/boots, take a camera and a jacket. Then just dive in and discover nature at its most beautiful. Literally every turn had something to offer.
I'll let the photos convince you :-)
Ps- pets NOT allowed. Wheelchair accessible mostly but not to good viewpoints.
Price is $30 per car or free if you have the Washington National Park Pass.

Visited the South side of the National Park in a couple of hours, didn't have enough time to hike much, but saw a couple different waterfalls, used some restroom, and made it to the top of the MT.Rainer base at the Paradise Inn Lodge with a dinner hall, rock fireplaces, Grand Hall, little cafe, gift shop, and 123 rooms costing either $180 or $260 per night with incredible breathtaking views. Great place to getaway, get some fresh air, and go on an adventure with breathtaking views and hiking trails!

Beautiful park! Mount Rainier is a stunning volcano towering amongst the landscape. The winding road throughout the park is so fun to drive with lush greenery for that quintessential “Washington” vibe. The clouds cleared today to reveal a bright sunny sky with stunning views. This was my second time here and just as amazing as the first!
Alycia McDuff — Google review
It was so much better than I even expected. The easily accessible hikes are pretty easy and super beautiful. The drive up to paradise is stunning and I loved all the view points. The entrance fee was $30 for a normal sized car. The roads are of course full of curves so drive carefully.
Elsie D — Google review
I will be back when the snow melts. We went peak snow days when the snow was up all the way up to their second floor of the visitor center and all the roads after that were closed. But it was absolutely amazing. Coming from Georgia where it barely snows and even if it were to, they either don't stack or doesn't last longer than a day, it was so refreshing to see so much snow and the mountains themselves were beautiful.
There are native birds there too that will fly up really close to you. It was such a great experience.
Also, make sure you have snow chains ready because they will check at the gate during snow seasons.

Mount Rainier National Park is a place of breathtaking natural beauty and awe-inspiring magnificence. Located in the state of Washington, it is home to the iconic Mount Rainier, a towering stratovolcano that dominates the landscape and captivates visitors with its majestic presence.
Faris Al Orfali — Google review
One of the most scenic drives I’ve been on—I’ve been to most of the lower 48. This park is massive, not overly crowded and a nature photographers paradise. All times of day, all lighting, it just stands out like one giant masterpiece of snowy peaks and lush wooded passes. If you get the chance to go, do not hesitate.
Peter Templeton — Google review
STUNNING. This was one of my best days on my trip nor my life. I loved the climbing and site seeing in this park. this is one of the best parks in the US and my favorite by far, maybe almost as good as Yellowstone. The amazing views from this mountain are so amazing and the multiple areas to go off and explore for your self are just as good.
Kyle — Google review
Mount Rainier is spectacular, with all the gorgeous views for which you might hope. Paradise Visitor Center is very well done, with great information, a good film, and a handy base for the nearby day hike trails. The trails themselves are well kept and well marked. We encountered a ranger who was literally shoveling steps in the snow to make passing through easier.
Bret Fynewever — Google review
Easily one of my favorite national parks for the vertical hikes, wildflowers, and the meeting of rock and flowing water.
The paradise loop hike that goes through panoramic point is a top to hike two hike of all time for me (most pictures from there).

Breathtaking park. We went in the middle of October and the weather was perfect. Some of the roads were already closed, as well as some of the ranger stations. Overall a very good park.

Holy Moly that’s the most impressive mountain I have ever seen. Whether it’s from Seattle or the base in the park. The drive up to Paradise went through some impressive stands of forest on the way up to many scenic pullovers and waterfalls. I had limited time and chose to hike up the Skyline trail from the visitor Center. Three of my favourite things in the natural world, an impressive mountain, glaciers, and waterfalls. All in one breathtaking view. The trail up was paved but steep. Amazing views in all directions. A gem in the National Park system.

I absolutely love hiking at Mount Rainier National Park. I grew up in Washington, and seeing the mountain in the distance. It is such a majestic place. I moved to Arizona and miss seeing and exploring the mountain.
Chris Knight — Google review
Beautiful park that is a two hour drive ish from Seattle. Be sure to get there early because there will be huge line of people trying to get in. We got there around 9 and it took over an hour to get to the gate. There also might be people along the line trying to sell you some cherries. Place is beautiful but when going in the summer it will be crowded at all the easy to access place which might be a turn off for some. Lots of wildlife to see as you pass by which is really fun
Kelly Low — Google review
Breathtaking! Lots of trails with different difficulties. Very easy to drive around during spring and summer. I went for a picnic but you cannot sit at most sites and eat, so I found a remote spot and had a picnic in my trunk
Huma Farooq — Google review
The mountain was amazing. I went in early August, and it was great. It's a very popular national park, so expect a lot of people, but not very many parking spots. The visitor centers are quite crowded, and the food isn't that great, to be completely honest. The views were nice, and it wasn't that difficult of a hike to get up to the scenic areas. The animals are quite used to people and will approach you regardless of whether you have food or not. But remember to not feed them, because they will start depending on people for their food, rather than naturally scavenging it. If you see any small rock cairns near the river, knock them over, as they are unnatural to the environment. It's fine to build them, just make sure to knock it over after.

The Summit at Snoqualmie
Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Ski & Snowboard Areas
1,981-acre ski area covering 4 peaks, offering 20+ lifts, terrain parks, & many restaurants & bars.
I personally love this resort for what it is. Is it a massive mountain with mind blowing trails? No. Is it a nice resort in a beautiful area a stones throw from Seattle where you can get there quickly in the morning and have a fun day of skiing, have a drink, and enjoy a great winter day in the mountains? Yes! If that’s the day you’re looking for then this is a great place to go. The parking is a little crowded and annoying like most resorts but I personally have never had an issue finding a spot relatively quickly (I get there in the mornings around 8 or 9). The night skiing is fun too and the resort clears out a ton. Would recommend for a quick and easy day of skiing!
Kaya Peterson — Google review
The Snoqualmie Pass is beautiful, especially when there is plenty of snow. That's when the summit opens for skiing and snowboarding.
The scenery is spectacular. The ski lifts are working, people play in the snow, and there are fireplaces to warm everyone up. You can rent a ski, snowboard, or grab some pizzas while you're there.
I went to Summit West, which is close to I-90. The Summit East is a bit further down.
It used to be a hassle when parking on the street for a few minutes, and the sheriff gave everyone a written warning. I haven't seen the sheriff there this time.

Amazing time to spend with your family or on your own. Don't even need to ski or snowboard, just come and enjoy the weather and delicious food at the lodge and awesome atmosphere with alot of different cultures and ethnicities. Live concerts on the weekends and lots of different events to explore. Had a great time at delicious 😋 waffle 🧇 cabin, get it with chocolate 🍫 you won't regret. Kids loved playing in the snow and enjoyed warming up by the fire pit!!!
All ages are there and everyone is joyful 😊 and happy.

The mountain biking needs more work. Still it's nice to use the lift, but the trails are full of lose rocks. You better know how to tune your suspension and wear your best armor. I've seen more than a couple of riders needing 1st aid kit.

Skiing was so much fun with my family. Customer service was so helpful. It was my family first time skiing and they guided us what to purchase. I love how there’s different section for different levels. Definitely coming back.
Judith Garcia — Google review
First day of 2021-2022 season! The opening day is on a Tuesday and is for pass holders only. Because it’s a weekday, the lines are short. Four lifts are open today. There is food and beverage service outside. The fire pits are going. The staff is super friendly. Parking is well organized. Family friendly and a there is a magic carpet for the kids. The snow is fast on the opening day. Well-groomed runs and plenty of powder. Highly recommend this resort.
Victoria Petra — Google review
Easy to get to from Seattle area. Great layout for families. Friendly crowd. And occasionally, you run into perfect condition like today.
The magic carpets are great for kids and beginners.
A few blue slopes and a couple of black, mountain top kind of tracks available too.

I've been coming here for over a decade and it gets a little worse every year. The snow grooming this year ranged from rough to non-existent. It seems like as soon as they get the park into good shape they close on weekdays. This season was also rough as far as chair breakdowns, and long lines. Overcrowding is a major issue. Weekends are a joke, so I ride on Wednesdays, now they close on Wednesdays. Even when they were open on Wednesdays, they had limited operations, so lines were still an issue. Unless I hear something will be done about 45 minute lines and powder days that get wrecked by the horde is less than an hour, this will be my last season as a season pass holder. Time to get a splitboard.

It's a great spot with so much to do. Mainly it's easy to get to thanks to i90.

Enough services for some quick food, gas and even decent restaurants and hotels.

Get lift & rental tickets online so you can skip the pay desk. There are lockers to rent they are self pay. They have food & a bar. They have night skiing & plenary of parking! It’s close to the city 1hr drive & they have Green, Blue, Black diamond runs. Also have inter tubing.
Ursela Hybridge — Google review
We only skied the front end runs and that was plenty. Had the kids in ski school all day, which is expensive but apparently effective. One kid went from zero to riding the lift and barely falling a whole run. Price for things is about what you’d expect. Skiing is expensive these days. The staff are way nicer than I’ve seen anywhere lately. We didn’t even see a large portion of the runs but everything seemed to be open. Will be happy to return.
Daniel Love — Google review
Excellent place to go for a short drive (45 mins) from Redmond WA. Generally lift services are not open for tourists in spring time but is still open for folks to come and enjoy themselves. We had a good time when we went there recently.

Terrible operation at magic carpet. We are here on the first day of 2024. I was teaching my 5 year old son in the magic carpet area. The magic carpet was operating with only one staff on the top but no one at the bottom (I later observed all the magic carpets were operated this way on the summit west.) unfortunately my son fell off after getting on the magic carpet. I shouted the loudest as I can for 10 seconds until a coach nearby came to pull the emergency stop, and the staff walk from the top to check after that. Lucky enough, my son is fine but I was terrified and decided to go back to the car right away.
I reported my safety concern to the patrol right after, they took my name and phone but so far no one reached out yet. To be honest, I think they are just being ignorant, I don’t feel they care about my concerns at all.
You are on your own if you decided to take the magic carpet when no staff is observing at the bottom. The other staff on the top won’t hear you at all. Pray for the best when accident happen, don’t hope the resort will do anything

Great place to learn, and close to the city. Plus they have 4 different areas with different terrain for different ability levels
My visit to the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery was an incredible experience that truly deserves a glowing 5-star review. Nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Leavenworth, this hatchery is a haven for both nature enthusiasts and those seeking a deeper understanding of conservation efforts.
The hatchery's facilities are impressive, showcasing the intricate process of raising and releasing fish. The guided tours provided a fascinating insight into the life cycle of salmon and their journey from eggs to mature adults. It was awe-inspiring to witness the meticulous care given to each stage of their development, ensuring their survival and the sustainability of the ecosystem.
The highlight of my visit was observing the fish migrations. Witnessing the sheer determination of the salmon as they navigated their way upstream was an extraordinary sight. The hatchery's efforts in creating fish ladders and providing a safe passage for these magnificent creatures truly showcase their dedication to their mission.
Beyond the educational aspect, the hatchery also offers picturesque surroundings. The serene beauty of the Wenatchee River, combined with the lush greenery, created a tranquil atmosphere. It was a delight to explore the well-maintained trails and observe the diverse wildlife that thrives in this natural habitat.
Furthermore, the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery plays an essential role in the community. They actively engage with schools and organize outreach programs, fostering a sense of environmental stewardship among the younger generation. Their commitment to conservation and environmental education is commendable and sets an excellent example for others.

Beautiful place to take a nice walk as it has a short little trail that would be good to bring kids on. It's a nice relaxing walk for adults as well. There are places to sit and watch wildlife if you want to wait for them. So if your looking for a casual stroll that super easy this is a good place to go.
Lee — Google review
Neat place to see some salmon and learn about their life cycle. They also have problem beavers that they remove and relocate to places where their dams are more useful to the ecology. There are several nature trails behind the hatchery that you can meander down on a nice day with views of the mountains.
Haley Bennett — Google review
We were able to see salmon fry and spawning salmon. They have a beaver rescue, they than move them somewhere safe to build a dam. There is a trail to hike, we didn’t do it. Everything was free. You can't go in visitor center due to covid but someone is sitting outside to answer questions. Google took us to wrong entrance. Need to park outside gate and there's a Porta potty.
Brian & Jenny Perket — Google review
Really cool site and building but they don’t really have it set up to be able to see any fish; the fry are in tanks hard to see and the large salmon are only visible from a deck 20 feet away. They should invest in some areas to let visitors see what they do better. Really nice staff and visitors center in a gorgeous setting, but they need to think of what people are coming to see and facilitate that a little better
Brian Stevenson — Google review
The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because it was winter. Not much exciting to see, but there are walking/snowshoeing trails, retired old pool-type tanks, and lots of information boards. You can see the young salmon from outside the off-limits fence.
Mick F — Google review
Due to covid restriction, we couldn't go into the buildings. Those restrictions should be lifted sometime in April. However, one of the Park Rangers came out and gave us a 45 min presentation on the facility, its mission, and the lifecycle of the salmon. We could also see the large outdoor ponds full of juvenile salmon that were about to be released into the river. It was a very educational experience.
Krondus — Google review
Maybe it was just the wrong time if year to be here but... this was really the only fish in the whole hatchery! Everything was empty fenced off, over grown with weeds outside, or under construction, we saw no other people but 1 employee. We made the best if it & went back to the RV to have lunch my boys are younger (7 & 5) so the bridge over the water & the little fish was still something they thought was cool. There was room to park our Silverado with a 32foot bumper pull no problem.

Amazing market with plenty of shops and cafes. Our favorite was the honey shop with all the types of Honey and Mead to try. Best place for a Sunday afternoon.

Love this market and it's stalls. It's a must have visit. However, the COVID has taken a toll here as well. Many ships were shut down. What is surprising is that in this huge produce growing area, there were no fruit, vegetable shops left. Still a good place to but honey, trinkets, eat a wood fired pizza and drink some local brew

Visited on a Friday afternoon. Relaxed energy, multiple restaurants offering everything from coffee to pizza. Additional shops selling honey, meats, produce, wine, handmade items and more. Great spot for any meal of the day plus galato. This feels like a smaller version of the Granville Island Market in Vancouver BC. So similar and delightfully familiar. Walk outside and cross the quiet street to the Riverfront Park to enjoy beautiful scenery along the river.

Pybus Public Market is so beautiful! I got to Wenatchee a bit late, which is a lot of stores are closed.
I'll try to stop by earlier the next time around. The atmosphere is beautiful. It's next to the Hilton Garden Inn along the Columbia River.
If you are in Wenatchee, visiting the Pybus Public Market is recommended.
Steve — Google review
Bit of a let down. Was (perhaps unfairly) comparing it to Seattle's Pike Place Market (the clue is in the sign) where they toss fish and have artists and street performers alongside an expanse of clothing and jewelry and home decoration vendors. The Pybus Public Market is more like a food court at a large shopping mall. They do have some vendors but overall it was an underwhelming experience. To be totally fair the assortment of food choices was nice.

The Pybus Market in Wenatchee is a cool place with a modern vibe that houses a meat market, many restaurants, and some cute little shops as well as a bicycle rental company. It was hard to choose but we ate at South with great service and deliciously different food. The fish tacos and dip appetizer were excellent.

Reminiscent of Pike's Place in Seattle or Granville Island in Vancouver, BC, this indoor public market, built in what looks like an old train station (and considering its location, seems likely), is packed with restaurants, specialty grocers, cafes, wineries and boutiques: a little something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a fine wine, a cheese to pair with it, some sliced meats to construct a charcuterie board, fresh honey, olives and olive oil, or just a bite to eat and a cocktail, Pybus Public Market has something for you.
Being from out of town, the Pybus Public Market was one of the first places of interest I spotted in Wenatchee on Yelp, and I knew it was the sort of place that would interest my wife and I. This place is the sort of community hub that takes the best of what a city or town has to offer, and presents it attractively in one neat, concise package, appealing to locals and tourists alike. My only strike against it would be wishing that it was larger, and even more comprehensive!
Jason Van Camp — Google review
What a creative idea for people to come together. The market has something for everyone from fresh produce to wine! Warmer weather brings out more booths in the outdoor market. Several eclectic restaurants inside along with gelato and coffee. Definitely a place to stop off if you are in the area!

This place is definitely worth walking around. Cute shops and really nice people. Our 3-star rating is based on the fact that we have eaten at 3 different restaurants there and have found them all to be mediocre. Check it out but recommend walking a couple of blocks up the road to eat.

Small building with a couple of vendors selling soaps, artwork, accessories, bread and jarred pickles. Mostly restaurants. I didn't try the food so I dont know if it's good because we had lunch already but the building is located right next to a riverfront park. Could be a casual lunch spot with a view or walk. I was expecting more local produce, gifts, and baked goods from a "market". I came on a Sunday.

A lovely place filled with interesting stores selling balsamic vinegar, honey, cheese etc and an array of restaurants. If you just finished a day on the mountain and are seeking a place for dinner, this is the no. 1 place I'd recommend!
Operating since 1889, this landmark saloon offers brews, pub grub & live music in cheery surrounds.
We came here based on previous reviews (particularly the ones that mentioned that this place was freedom loving). Loved seeing the faces of the waitstaff and patrons! Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We brought our kids and had a great time.

The burgers were great, the rosemary shoestring fries also! Very busy when we got there at 1:30pm, but service was attentive, and as the lunch crowd disappeared, the owner chatted with us. The town is historic, a mining area. The inside of the building is... old brick! Enjoyed our lunch a lot in "Cicely Alaska"

I used to hit the Brick several times a year after biking or hiking and it was always good. Covid came along and I hadn't been in in over 3 years. I'm happy to report that even on a very busy Memorial day weekend Saturday, the food was better than ever and the beer selection was great!

The quality of the food and the service here was phenomenal! Whatever they put in that soup made it the best soup I’ve ever had in a restaurant anywhere I’ve ever traveled in the world. Thank you for an amazing dining experience and I can assure you that next time we come through Washington we will plan our trip around stopping here again. Thank you from Idaho.

What can I say about the Brick? It is the quintessential, old school saloon - it has everything one could wish for and in a classic setting!
Great atmosphere, food is excellent, drinks menu amazing and everything to the best quality. Pool tables and sports on TV if you want it, comfortable place for drinks and/or food (including a quieter, set-off restaurant area), and a great view from the front over the town's main streets. Fancy live music? There's that too, on the weekends!
The staff are friendly, super efficient, and all around brilliant! Special shout out to Scotty, Franny, and Matty in particular - we frequented the establishment for a few days in a row and they were just fantastic! Made our stay in town truly pleasant and memorable.

We came to the Brick because we were in Seattle visiting family. We thought, hey, let's go to Cicily Alaska! We love Northern Exposure. There was no way to resist coming to see the town. My only disappointment is that The Brick didn't have any shirts with "I Hit The Brick" on them.

I had dinner break at Roslyn at The Brick Saloon and it exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was lit and service here is fantastic. We were confused about which drinks to try so the waiter gave us some sample draft beer. To my wow "Mac and Jack Africa Amber Ale" was really a discovery.
The food here is above average but not what I would call amazing. I ordered a Cicely Chicken Sandwich with an onion ring as a side. Both were very average. My friend had Black Bean Burger with waffle fries. The burger was very good, but the fries were oily. But given such a small town, this place really shines.

We spent several hours in The Brick while watching UW and The Kraken. Long enough to have 2 meals! Jamie was our server/bartender/all-around awesome human and she was fabulous. Hats off, Brick. You made us feel right at home and we appreciate it.

Cool little old pub in Roslyn, oldest still running saloon on the west coast apparently. Couple of pool tables. Good food. The brisket sandwich was great. Employees were all very nice and service was good. The atmosphere was great. Feels there's been a lot of good times in that bar. Lots of good vibes! Go check it out.

Place was packed and a bit hectic when we arrived but the staff was still pleasant and helpful. Our waiter Scotty was great! He communicated clearly and often while trading the right amount of teasing banter. Food was wonderful as always, with a tasty Cuban and a couple summer salads being the superstars.
Upscale restaurant featuring New American dishes & fine wines, plus a patio with golf course views.
Great service, very friendly staff. The food was amazing and the cocktail was so good. I tried the jalapeño pineapple margarita and it was so so good. Never had such a good cocktail before. The ambience is perfect for a date night or any celebration. My husband and I went there for our anniversary dinner and we absolutely loved it. I would definitely want to go there in summer again.

Great service very friendly staff (Erin, Lauren and everyone who served us were amazing) but the food was just not in par. Except the morrocan chicken dish that was alright, everything else tasted bad and over cooked. They even messed up the oysters by adding a creamy sauce. Wine selection is limited so consider taking your own favorite bottles and pay the fork fees.
Chopped salad sauce was over powering. Chicken was overcooked. Halibut fish tasted bland and over cooked too. With all due respect the chef needs to put more efforts and get some culinary lessons.

I've been here twice and it wasn't as great the 2nd round. Though customer service was great.. got us in last minute. What wasn't great was the meals. It was very expensive. Kiddos didn't like the mac and cheese. The beet salad was the only thing I liked. (King salmon was dry) Husband got a ribeye steak and he said it wasn't quality cut. The truffle fries were ok. Overall - we won't return to eat dinner. Maybe appetizers and drinks.. but that would be another review.

Great wine and delicious food! Great lounge seating near the massive fireplace! The staff is knowledgeable and very attentive. The Mac and cheese is to die for.. it also helps that the views are amazing! Simply a great time and so relaxing, can't wait to go back.

We recently photographed Jordan & Taylor's wedding at Suncadia + Swiftwater, and all we can say is WHOA. This place starts off by grabbing you with the expansive views and stunning lodge, but going through the motions of an entire wedding day, we saw every tiny detail done PERFECTLY. The way this place, alongside Suncadia Resort, executed our couple's vision, was rather incredible to watch. Can't recommend this location and staff enough to host your wedding!

I cannot overstate how beautiful this place is!! Our family came to sled in the back and they were very accommodating to our group. The staff is very friendly, and the food delicious, for adults and the children in our group. The hot chocolate is delicious! The pulled pork sandwich and the truffle Mac n cheese is delicious. The Flatbreads were a decent size and shareable. The chicken strip were the perfect crispiness according to the adults in the group. We got to sit by an open fire and dry our coats while watching a football game. Food is delicious, staff so very kind and friendly. They were happy to tell us where the best sledding is and make us hot cocoas. Thank you Swiftwater Cellars for giving us such a great experience!

We absolutely loved the Swiftwater. Hoist restaurant was beautifully decorated. Wonderful ambiance and service. The food, oh the food. The best meal, without a shadow of a doubt, we’ve had in literal years. The servers are all knowledge and friendly. The managers work well together and watching the rhythm of their food line workers was really fun. 10/10 all around. Can’t wait to come back and try their flavors in a different season!

People aren’t lying when they say this place has the best food in the whole area.
We loved it here! Came for wine tasting and lunch and then back for dinner.
The staff is sweet and attentive and the wine pours are generous so you get what you pay for.
The flat breads are delicious ( Brie and raspberry)
SWC salad was delicious and super refreshing. The chicken was grilled so nice.
For dinner we had Gnocchi and and flatbread and again sooooooo delicious and flavourful. Dessert doesn’t disappoint either!

Overall a very good experience. It is a little bit loud in the main dining area but that didn't bother us. There is a choice of outside seating with a beautiful view. Flat bread was one of the best I've had. Wagyu beef brisket was amazing. My wife had salmon which was an off the menu special. It was very well prepared. Our server, after taking our order, was nowhere to be found. It wasn't a problem because other servers were more than happy to bring us what we needed.

Unfortunately this restaurant disappointed on almost every front. The restaurant design is big, open, and very loud. Giant TV for sports. If looking for family friendly, maybe ok, but definitely not for a date night. And prices are very high for a family place.
Food was awful and made us sick. The wine was pretty good, so gave 1 extra star.

What a neat place! The vibes are immaculate, especially with the holiday decorations. We tried the Seasonal and No. 9 flights and loved every variety. The charcuterie was pretty good for the price but the summer sausage felt like a low-value filler. The mushroom and lentil soup was so good as well!! A beautiful winter experience. The staff were all super friendly and the building and bathrooms were very clean. Love that they are dog friendly too! Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area and will definitely be recommending this spot to my friends and family!

Our waiter told us that they recently added the Chicken Piccata to their menu, and boy am I glad that they did. This was hands down one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly breaded and the sauce that covered the chicken and potatoes still has my mouth watering.
The group I was with also got a plethora of appetizers, desserts, and drinks which were all outstanding. I personally had the Manhattan which was my favorite (of many) while in Washington for a few days. Can't wait to return some day!
Sprawling winter sports area in a 2,000-acre basin with 4 chair lifts & 36 designated runs.
Great place for beginners, Freedom Pass program exceeded my own expectations. The staff members are amazing, especially the ski school staff. The energy they all give off is contagious, I found myself laughing and joking along with them. By lesson #4 we were all on a first name basis. It's been a great experience and I'm looking forward for next season, thanks Mission Ridge!

Visited Saturday 1/22/22. $105 total all day lift, preferred parking, fees and taxes. After rain earlier in the week, conditions were hard ice with a thin groomed layer. Less than 1/3 of the trails were groomed and they were scrapped down after my first 3 runs. 2-2 chair lifts take you up to a high speed quad and 1 more 2 seat chair. I was impressed by the speed of the quad at 17-18mph but most importantly- it didn’t stop running one time during my visit. I’ve visited other Washington resorts where the quad chairs stop frequently but that’s not the case at Mission Ridge. So despite a line at the lift, it goes by fast. All 2 chairs are old school and you gotta be familiar so with new skiers and kids they did stop but not too much. Be prepared to ride with strangers as they don’t have a social distancing policy on the lifts. I was a bit disappointed to see they let early birds stage equipment at beginning of lift line thereby reserving first in line spot without having to stay with the gear.
Lodge was nice with usual fare usual prices. Bathrooms are clean and good condition except the bathrooms located close to the parking lot. They were fairly run down and unkept. Customer service was very good with every engagement we had with the Mission Ridge team.
Today I was only able to hit 1/4 of blues and greens and one blackD but once the groomed was scrapped it was seriously dangerous. The well traveled skier can easily see the mountain would be fantastic skiing under better conditions. Trails run today. Upper and lower Tumwater, Sun spot, upper and lower lip lip, bomber bowl, toketie, Mimi, and boundary road.

Okay, I’ve been going to mission all season, and I’ve loved it, but the icing on the cake has to be the women’s intermediate and advanced group lessons. I’ve really felt myself strengthen as a skier under the tutelage of Laurie, Sam, Heather, and Anya.
Today, I did what was essentially an individual lesson with Laurie, and it was such an amazing experience. She is so kind, so encouraging, and so passionate about the sport. It really helped me to grow my confidence on off-piste terrain. And she knows the mountain so well, it’s really nice to get to explore things I never would have gotten to see on my own. I really cannot thank her enough. If you get a chance to learn from her, just know you really are learning from the best.

Friendly small mountain vibe. Good length green runs for my little kids to learn on. Most chairs are the old school 2-seaters, but they do have 1 very nice upgraded quad chair lift with conveyor loading and windshields (chair 2) and it's the best - goes to the top for an epic 360 view!

The local ski resort of choice. Gorgeous views, great options for food and beverages, fun activities, super friendly and fun staff. An overall warming experience even though you’re in the cold, snowy mountain valley. Oh and clean bathrooms!!! That says A LOT about how this resort cares about the quality of everything they provide their guests.

Mission Ridge is the quintessential "old school" ski area. People are friendly, service is great, lines are short, grooming is fantastic, and there is enough interesting terrain for skiers of any level. I gave up on ski areas closer to Seattle owned by big corporations and made Mission my primary ski area. Views are pretty sweet also.

Great one if you can stay in Wenatchee for a night. We live in Seattle so it's a bit far as a winter season go-to ski resort. This year the snow conditions in Seattle nearby resorts weren't as good so we wind up here, and we are not disappointed! The place is much less crowded, and when you go up the mountain the snow is very good! It's also just about 25 minutes away from Wenatchee where you can find plenty of food varieties. We'll definitely come back to spend more weekends this season!
My family enjoyed the scenic gondola ride on Father's Day! It was absolutely breathtaking. So incredibly beautiful and the weather was perfect! Only one restaurant was open and the line was pretty long. Instead of waiting we shopped at the gift shop. Our three kids 12 and under enjoyed the ride. I'd been wanting to do this for awhile and I'm so glad we did. I'd definitely recommend this experience.

Very nice ride up and down. The most enjoyable part is the employees are really mindful of people with disabilities or parents with strollers. This was very nice to see. The ride is around 10 mins more or less, very enjoyable! Plenty of parking and no wait time on a Saturday at 10:30am. Restrooms available as well.

Purchasing tickets was a breeze, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It’s worth noting that during peak seasons, the parking lot tends to fill up quickly.
The gondola cabins were spacious and offered clear visibility, ensuring that every passenger could enjoy uninterrupted vistas. Reaching the summit was a highlight, offering a vantage point that felt like being on top of the world. The vast expanses of snow-capped peaks and the crisp mountain air created a sense of tranquility and escape from the everyday hustle.
At the top, the presence of a great restaurant called Summit House was the cherry on top of an already fantastic journey. The dining options offered a delightful selection, and enjoying a meal with the backdrop of the Cascade Mountains was an unforgettable experience.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast, adventure seeker, or simply looking for a peaceful getaway, the Crystal Mountain gondola ride is a must-do. It's a remarkable way to connect with the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and create lasting memories.

It is very beautiful, must visit a skie lover, feels like a winter festival...not very far from enumclaw downtown and it is out of Rainer national park, so open in winter but the national park gate is closed during winter months. Gondola has quick and stunning views from the top of the mountain, in summer open for a couple of hikes from the mountain and a clear view of mount Rainer.

Lovely place to watch Mt. Rainier, we had great experience visiting the Crystal mountain today. Gondola ride is awesome experience, when you go to the top, you can see breath taking views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams and if lucky you can see Mt. St. Helen as well. Restaurant is too crowded and expect long delays over weekend, they've lot of parking spaces, lot of picnic tables on the top for having food, high recommend this place with friends and families.

You can catch some early snow without much rush at Crystal Mt. The ride was pretty smooth. Though we had booked the ticket and parking, there was not much rush and plenty of parking was available.
They have buses from parking lot to the base, so you could really park anywhere on any parking lot. We actually drove to parking lot A, B, C and the finally parked in road side and caught a bus. Buses are every 5 min so there is no need to walk at all.
If you have to book the parking prefer getting a parking permit for parking lot A, which is the only parking lot that is nearest to base and you don’t have to park in muddy field (rest of the lots are all muddy).
Gandola ride fun.. We caught the ride up, stayed for 5 min as none of were prepared for temperature at the top and we don’t know skiing. You need proper gears at the top to even walk around in snow. We got on the next car back to the base.
There is low elevation slope at the bottom and rental place at the base which is good for kids to enjoy.

I loved the gondola it was 45 and worth it to get to go up to the restaurant. I bought hot cocoa for 4$ before heading up. It was cloudy when I went up and honestly I loved the experience going through the fog. I bought tickets when I got there. I went early on a week day and it was in august. There were a lot of people but I really didn’t have much of a wait if any.

Came during a work day and it was so relaxed, laid back and beautiful. Clean restrooms down near the entrance of the gondola. Easy access and quick take off. The ride is lovely and smooth. On top makes all the difference. The views are amazing. There’s a restaurant where you can buy some drinks and sit on lounge chairs over looking the peaks. There’s a souvenirs shops down and up the gondolas. Beautiful experience!
Willie Ruiz — Google review
Definitely worth the price! About 50 bucks per person after tax but a very smooth ride and ice cold bubbly beverages at the top. This is far better than visiting Hurricane Ridge and we'll be back several more times to show family and friends since it's less than 2 hours from Seattle

This is a once a year must. Spring through early fall you can ride the gondola up for the beautiful views of Mount Rainier / Tahoma. You can do as little or as much hiking around as you would like and even have lunch at the wonderful restaurant at the top.

This is a very scenic place to visit but the price for a ride are very high..I also recommend to check the time you are visiting this place. Especially do not go closer to sunset or potentially after 4 pm. You will have a clouded view of the mountains and most facilities close up after 4.

We visited on a summer weekday and the place was not too crowded, which made for a pleasant experience. We easily found parking and there were no lines at the entrance. We had a cable car all to ourselves (both ways) and the ride took 15 minutes each way. That ride offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains at every turn. The highlight of course is the snow-capped Mount Rainier at the top.
There is a restaurant at the top if you get hungry. We stayed for two hours, including almost an hour at the restaurant.

2,600-acre winter-sports park with a mountaintop restaurant, terrain park, & numerous runs & lifts.
They were so helpful! (Of course, I manifested it.) The universe always conspires to work in my favor even when I could have planned it a little better and had a more eventful day. But, this was an unplanned, spontaneous trip and I had a great time my first time snowboarding! I've been wanting to go for 30 years! I said on my way there, "I AM going to have a great day! I AM going to have a fun time! Everything is always working out for me!" 😇💫

Came here for some skiing and I was not disappointed. It gets busy on the weekends, so arrive early if you want to get a good parking spot. Easy to rent all equipment, which I highly recommend if you're a beginner. Slopes are well maintained with lots of employees posted to help out when needed.
Food is expensive here but that's what I expect. Bring your own water or hot beverages if you want.
I'll definitely be back for more skiing!

I really enjoyed this ski area. It is well set out with parking lots set up along the access road, this works very well with the bus system to then bring you to the main lodge. Parking back in one of the early lots is a good idea as less bus line to wait in.
Many runs with many different skill levels, not the best tree runs

we went during the summer, took the gondola to the top, and had lunch at the outdoor bar… Incredible views from the top, and a fun gondola ride. We got back down to the bottom, and there was live music playing on this grass field, so we enjoyed that for awhile. Overall, it was a great visit.

Crystal mountain is the best you’re going to get in terms of on piste terrain in Washington! About a 2 hour drive (+30 or more mins if there’s snow) from Seattle- it’s mostly geared towards day trips.
Plan ahead with parking and make sure to leave the city before 7am on a powder day to not get caught in the traffic up. (2 lane road)

I surprised my with a trip up the mountain. We took the gondola up the top of the mountain experienced the sights and snow afforded at the top. We had a small lunch and couple drinks.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. Lost my phone there in the middle of a run yesterday and Jarrett went out of his way to find it.
The mountain is really good for beginners to practice as there are long green runs. The ‘queen’ run being around 2 miles was brilliant. Would definitely recommend for practice.
Didn’t get a chance to get on the mount rainier gondola. Heard a lot of good things about it.

The slopes were fresh powder (lucky timing on my part) and rode smooth. The trails were clearly marked. The rental gear was in “near new” condition and clean. The gondolas were smooth without much “jerkyness”. Definitely highly recommended!!
Additionally, the drive up to the resort was beautiful! Very picturesque.

If you're looking for an easy day trip out of Seattle, consider Crystal Mt. Resort. Easy drive and if you are using an electric car they provide charging stations for free. I was able to make the round trip without a recharge. Cable car wait time for us was very short. View is amazing. Very worthwhile trip if you don't have the time for hiking.

Mt. Rainier view is breathtaking. Gondola service is good, we had to wait 2hours because of the storm to go up on Gondola. They must add vegetarian options to the menu and different coffee options too.

Crystal presents a unique experience for skiing in the Cascades. More remotely located by national parks, it holds epic powder and moderate terrain—with some expert. We did a few early runs and then had lunch at the summit lodge. Everything was exceptional, except for some of the lift lines. Hard not to love a classic Washington ski resort. And if you're lucky, you'll catch an almost unobstructed view of My Rainier from the ridge.

Had a great couple days here with a buddy! Snow is thin this year, but they do a great job blowing snow near the base area. Terrain is awesome at this resort. The way you can drop either side of multiple ridges is really cool. Most of the resorts in Oregon are more 2d, if you will.
Food at the summit was very good. I would recommend.
Ski patrol was helpful and friendly when we talked with them about conditions on chair 6.

Excellent resort. Lots of good food, reliable lifts, good snow from Jan-Apr and sometimes Nov-May. Absolutely beautiful views from the top of Rainier and many other mountains. Terrain varies from green to black, with some double black in bounds and a lot more hike-able that returns to the lifts.

Very friendly staff. Lift lines are not too bad compared to the others. Parking is organized and easy when you arrive. Would have been a 5 star if the shuttle service did not end before the resort closed at 4 pm. I went during their 60th anniversary. $60 loft ticket brought a lot of people on a Thursday but it was handled pretty well.

The resort itself is good, nice green trails and beautiful views of mount rainier. Though it got way too expensive this year. The customer service, however, is terrible! We had tickets and we couldn't go. They didn't let us reschedule or get a refund. It's the only business I've seen to be so greedy and uncaring about customers! They make so much money, but they won't help you in special circumstances!

Spent about 90 minutes here riding the gondola up to catch some spectacular views. I bet it was awe inspiring 30+ years ago before major pollution set a haze over everything. Gondola ride is expensive but smooth. I do wish they would allow you to stay for sunset behind the mountains but we were told to GTFO by 6pm or hike down 2.5 hours if you miss the last gondola.

Stay was nice. Staff was great. DVDs you can rent and there is a restaurant on site open till about 9-10 pm. Location is up a mountain and there isn't anything else for about 40 minutes. No gas or grocery store or bank or any other stores for another 40 minutes. Come prepared.
I did see Ev charging. There is a gondola here about 40-50 Dollars per person to go up. 7:30 pm is last ride up, 8:30 pm is last ride down. Cloudy when we visited. Usually this is a skii and snowboard resort in the winter.
The rooms were clean but it felt outdated and the walls were super thin. The whole inn we stayed at felt outdated and looks like they could benefit from some updating or modernization. The lighting is very dim and yellow which contributes to the old feeling. Communal use of a common room and microwave. We could hear everything and everyone above us, outside the hallways, and anyone talking outside. The voices transmitted through our windows very easily and we woke up from the noises constantly. We put in earplugs but quiet hours are NOT respected here. A group of people were up laughing and talking during the late night / early morning.
Great views.

Awesome day of skiing amongst the Mountains of WA with Mt Rainier as our backdrop! Went on a Wed with very little lines and constant skiing. So much so, my legs were mush by the end of the day... One of the best ski mountains, trails and terrain in Seattle!
Richard Smith — Google review
Viciously overpriced for what you get. Most of the runs are closed most of the time. And when they're open, they close early. They recently advertised a night skiing event, however, they neglected to mention only one green run would be open and their "light show" was one small projector. It was a total scam. Also, pack a lunch, cause you'll be waiting at least an hour for your food and sometimes it won't show up at all after 1.5 hours (like last time). There are better mountains with better prices. Go there until Crystal sorts it's issues out.

This is a snow paradise😄Great place to enjoy your weekend. Gondola ride is amazing. Its better you book all the parking and ride tickets online to save time and avoid queue.

Ambiance:
Absolutely beautiful. Blue skies and a warm sun.
Service:
Restaurant and rental gear staff were both helpful. Lift operators were friendly and attentive.
Facilities Quality:
In the process of building a new lodge, but it's not open yet. Existing structures are still very serviceable. Lifts are in good condition. Lift tickets are RFID this year so no more manual scanning by an attendant. Just gates that open when you swipe the card. Long overdue upgrade. New Magic Carpet is about twice as long as before and is covered now.
Value for Money:
Really depends. A burger and fries were $28. Resort food prices. And the tacos and quesadillas are quite tasty. But a beginner lift ticket for a child was only $39. Bring some PB&J's and bottled water and you'll be fine.
Overall Experience:
Reliable bus service to the lower parking lots made parking and getting right to the base very convenient. Upgraded lifts had the lines almost non-existent, even on the greens. A little pricey for some of the lift tickets but there are options. The boys had a great time and will be back. Recommended

Great snow! But the Rainier Express, one of their main lifts, seemed to be on its last legs when we were there. Plans to replace it after next season should be accelerated, I think. It stopped at least three times, once in a 25 mph gust for about 20 minutes.
Marcy Brighton — Google review
We came on the best snow day of the season, which luckily landed on a Friday. It was quite busy getting in and out, and if you don't have all wheel drive, it will prove difficult getting out of some parking lots. The mountain itself was incredible, and the runs were perfect. The lighting was troublesome, mostly overcast throughout the day. This made it difficult to see the terrain. However, when the clouds began to clear, it made the landscape turn into a mystical white paradise.

I love Crystal Mountain! I have been skiing here for around 9 years now, and in all my years here, I never got bored! There is always something to do and see, because every day is different! This resort is great, and although the prices may be high, it’s worth it. On weekends, it is busy, but if you don’t mind all the people, you’ll be fine. If you like skiing or riding on emptier trails, then you should come here on a weekday. Have fun in the snow!

This market has a little bit of everything but the fresh produce is why come back to and time again. I picked a fresh bushel of Apple's for a decent price especially for farm to table. It's in the middle of nowhere but luckily it's right next to an exit and gas station.

Great place to stop to buy local produce! Market is easy to get too, right off I90. They have more than produce, they also sell tourist souvenirs, ice cream, coffee, jams, etc. We stop mainly for the produce.

Every time I travel over the mountains, it's a must to stop here. I've always enjoyed perusing every aisle. It's a fruit stand with many unique food items, too. The top 2 floors about the fruit stand are full of antiques. Make sure you allow for plenty of time to take in the atmosphere and shop for skins good finds.

This is a wonderful place to stop. The gas station next door always has the cheapest gas and the antique mall itself is two levels with some amazing items. Some of the prices are a little higher than what I would expect them to be but each vendor is different and I always walk away with something really cute. The bottom floor has all artisanal sauces and items at great prices, fresh fruits and homemade ice cream. You cannot and will not be disappointed I stopping by and taking a quick visit! Even the view is worth stopping for!

If you on near by and driving STOP by and you will not regret. A good collect of antiques. Been going there at least once a year for more than scene years. Yes has bath and you can get low cost gas. Kids will enjoy fresh fruit and candy. For adults wine is available.

Cuuuute little fruit stand/antique store... a little on the expensive side. Wanted to see more local products but a lot came from other states..the fresh apples and other fruits looked great, huge selection of wines and sauces...in a great location near the interstate..only negative thing I can say is the couple at the cash register weren't very friendly 😕...loved my scones and lemon curd and fig & walnut butter 😍😘👍👍💙🥰

Worth a stop, tons to see upstairs, and great variety of fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, and other goods downstairs. Staff was extremely friendly.

One of my most favorite places to stop on road trip. Large selection of local products like jam, and scented hand lotion. The top two floors are absolutely packed with thrift store vibes and probably has anything you could think of. I Love It!
Lucas Tracy — Google review
There is no customer service,, there are plenty of people wearing green shirts indicating they work there, but no smiling faces offering to help you do anything. Not even check out. They seem content to let the check out line get bigger, and bigger. The ice cream machine is not keeping the ice cream hard. I was very disappointed last time I stopped.

Not only a good place to stop for fruit. Ice cream, coffee and last but not least a two story antique mall above the ground floor sale space. The collection of die cast hot wheels cars for sale is a collectors wet dream.

This is like a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere, quite a find. I love stopping here and just soaking up some of the local color. And the bonus was I had the best Honeycrisp apple I have ever had great place friendly service you like it.

I have frequented this establishment my entire childhood and today (as a full-grown adult with two children under the age of five) I was made to feel extremely unwelcome by an employee who wanted to make a smart-a$$ comment about what I was wearing. It's hot outside and I am in a crop top with my two children, one of whom I have to breastfeed so I need to be able to whip it out whenever she wants milk. Your employees need to keep their rude comments to themselves. They don't know what's going on in somebody else's life. Produce was great as usual 🙏🏼

I love the Thorp Fruit and Antique mall and have been coming here for years. Even when it’s off season, there is still local produce on top of local jams, sauces, honey, and wine. The antique mall upstairs always has something new in store. If you’re looking for a hot wheels, there is a massive hot wheels collection.
Angel Riddle — Google review
Really cool place! They have produce, antiques, and ice cream, and there’s a coffee shop inside! There’s a huge wine selection and jams and pickled items, and lotions and so much more! There’s everything from your childhood upstairs on the second and third floors! I had a great time just walking around the place and looking at everything!

Two days before Christmas and our 3 year old says i only want Santa to bring me a cement mixer hot wheels… Probably the only place in the region that might have one is Shrees. By some Christmas miracle there was a cement mixer!

Huge roadside stop for produce and local goods such as honey, some packaged bakery items, fruits, wines, spices, salt water taffy, and even espresso and hand scooped ice cream. Good prices on produce. Gift shop prices on some of the gourmet food items. Two upper floors are an antique mall. Didn't explore there as i spent so much time on the main floor. Apparently a popular potty break spot too as many people made a beeline for the restrooms from their cars.
Laid-back brewpub doling out house craft beers in a rustic yet contemporary setting.
Amazing brewery... I first had their beer back in 2009 and been a regular customer since.
I keep coming back because of the amazing, craft beer style brews and the top notch customer service. All three servers: Nevada, Ashley, Claire will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want and treat you like family/long time friend. I don't think you can go wrong or find a better brewery in the area.
OHHHH and it gets better! They now serve in addition to beer, hard cider and wine!!! So everyone in the group can be happy and find something to match his/her taste.
Check em' out...

Pretty wide selection of beer for on premise and to-go. A nice touch, the to-go beer is just as cheap as you'll find in the grocery store. Nice staff, nice atmosphere, highly recommended if you want a beer. Kids welcome, dogs welcome outside. Free popcorn. Outside food welcome - what little food is for sale here is really just for gastronomic emergencies.

In downtown Ellensburg, this is a pleasant pub from a popular Eastern Washington craft brewery.
The place is yellow outside, which is kind of asking to come in. The inside is welcoming and well decorated. There is also a nice patio that is quite enjoyable when the sun is out.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their brews.
The beer was fine. You have a decent variety to choose from and can go for a flight if you want to try several kinds.
The food was the classic fares for this kind of place, was served in good portion and tasted good.
The prices were fair.
Overall a good experience.

The food.and drink here were excellent! The staff was very friendly and brought out our meals and drinks very quickly. The oven was out, so we were not able to order pizza like we intended, but the Mac and cheese and quinoa wrap that we got were very good for not a bad price. We were also able to fill up a growler for cheap. Highly recommend going here for either hanging out for a drink or for good eats

Taproom has been on our list to visit for a while, so glad we finally made it in! Service was fantastic, tried several beers 🍺🍺 and a few of their newly acquired bad granny ciders . The space is cozy and they serve popcorn. They have these cute little coffee tables made out of half kegs! To go beer is available so grabbed a 6 pack for home 👍

Iron Horse is a pioneer to the Ellensburg chanel of local breweries. As most residents know the movement of the older tasting rooms, Iron Horse's current newer location is in their local production facility.
This is a smaller sized public brewery with a nice larger outdoor seating area. Feel welcomed by there family friendly board game filled library.
Kids and pups welcome!
The staff are extremely friendly and thier beer speaks for themselves.
As a reminder, they do not serve food other then their fresh popped popcorn; they are very welcoming to outside meals, so BYOF.

So happy to have a brewery location to stop and enjoy an Iron Horse beer again. The Tap Room has both indoor and outdoor seating, tasty brews, guest ciders, friendly staff and FREE popcorn. IYKYK We'll definitely be back next time we're driving through.

Nice pub in Ellensburg. Great beer, nice food selection. Our favorite beer is Irish Death. It's a dark beer with a really light taste. Lots if seating available, stop in for a quick beer and a bite to eat.
My brother and I took the tour here. It was interesting and quite informative. It was quickly obvious that they were giving the tour in order to put wind farms in a positive light. The two young ladies that were working there did a very good job. One of the reasons that the tour was effective in promoting wind farms is because they clearly are a great way to make renewable energy. Seeing them up close only reinforced the positive. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Super good place to stop by and see wind turbines from close. This place has great scenic views as well. They have guided (and free) tours at 10 am and 2 pm. Staff is very nice and friendly.

This place was awesome, we happened to be in the area and decided to take the long was home from a concert at the gorge. This was for sure worth the drive, it does seem kind of like a road to no where but very pretty and scenic. We are middle aged and really enjoyed the information and history in the center they have! You get to get up close to the wind turbines and it really puts them into perspective of how big they really are. If your lucky you might even get to watch them climb them. Truly a phenomenal experience and I highly reccomend visiting at least once. The weather was awesome, there were plenty of parking spots, and it was not crowded. We went in the middle of june! It was perfect.

A very good place to see what is a wind farm like and they even have a blade lying on the ground that you can see at very a close distance. A good place to spend a weekend with a little bit of learning and a little bit of hiking. Despite of the strong wind, it may be hot in a sunny summer afternoon. Please add or remove some clothes before the guided tour begins.

This is my first time to see windmills in so short distance. They are very impressive. And there are some activities for kids to do in the information center.

I've driven by wind farms so many times but actually having the opportunity to get up close was a really good time. As an engineer it was wonderful seeing wind turbine components up close. We went on the 2 PM tour and learned a lot!

Went on a field trip with students from my sons school. They gave us lots of information on the how it works, the what it's good for and who this electricity is helping. I know I learned a lot from going and it was definitely a fun trip.
Love this place. Their fruit and veggies are of the best quality. Their made from scratch daily baked goods are some of the best I have ever had, especially their pies!!!
I do a lot of freezing juicing, canning and baking so I LOVE that they offer 2nds on their freshly harvested fruits as the prices are so affordable.
But they have much more than produce and such nice people working there. It's a real gem for Yakima.

Fresh fruits, esp apples. Hubby likes apples so it was a good place to stop. We got their pie as well. It was delicious!

I love Johnson farm. Not many companies can say they’ve been part of the community and serving customers like they can. Oh, did I mention that the produce and fruits are wonderful and all local and the side businesses of fantastic coffee locally roasted and simply amazing pies (try the Trippe berry) ale I’ll keep you stopping by regularly. And really nice people. “Johnson’s farm, same location since 1904.”

Friendly and helpful staff. Great pies, cookies, and other desserts. They also had a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables for purchase as well. Would recommend stopping by if in Yakima.
Andrew Lee — Google review
Lovely local orchard that sells their fruits from beautiful old building on the property. It was great to visit a place that didn't stock their shelves with imported fruits, which means selection depends on what is in season. When I went there was a huge selection of apples in addition to a odds and ends from the community such as jams and soaps. I also picked up an apple pie, which was delicious.

We came right at the end of the fruit season, but they still had a lot of products. I love apricots and peaches. My wife, cherries and more cherries 🍒

Every summer we drive to Yakima to get peaches, cherries, and apples. The Johnson Fruit Orchard is our favorite place to get the fruit. The staff here are friendly, welcoming and efficient. The atmosphere is down to earth. The hand pies, cookies and other baked goods yummy!

Apples, pears, pumpkins, although place is very pricy. $3 for a small dill bunch. Apples 1.99-2.99$/lb, no bulk buy option. Nice place to look around though. Apples, peaches, corn look to be brought from some other orchards and not locally grown at this particular farm, hence added cost.

nice place to get fruit, they had creamed honey I was looking for. highlight was the cute lil bakery. amazing handmade pies and the ppl were very nice. cookies were a good deal, try the 3 berry pie.
edit: forgot to mention the veggie tarts. we saw them come fresh straight out of the oven, and got one piping hot. they make their goods there and bake it on site. a very respectable business, would definitely recommend going there.

The Yakima Valley Museum is an exceptional museum that offers both education and entertainment. Its exhibits cover the history of the area from a geographical and historical perspective, with special emphasis on Yakama Native American heritage and agriculture. The museum boasts several prized collections including horse-drawn conveyances, early motor vehicles, and a working model of a Depression-era soda fountain. Additionally, visitors can enjoy exploring the unique kids' section that resembles a small town for children to play in.
There is so much more than you think! We had a good time going through the museum. I went in with a 3, 5, and 7 year old. They had a blast! There are interactive exhibits, screens with informational educational videos, and there is also a children’s play area! It is cost friendly and was definitely well worth the trip. There was rich history of Yakima!

Cool place. My wife and I went here for our Valentine's Day weekend. Had lots of fun and took lots of good pictures. The lady up front, I'm sorry about her name escapes me, was very nice and knowledgeable. She found my wife the perfect gift. She enjoys it very much. If you're looking for a fun time on a Saturday, I highly recommend this place.

OK seriously impressed. Well laid out, varied, and interesting all around. A highlight was the working beehive.

This is a great local museum! A good size and well layed out. Plenty of interactive exhibits for people of all ages. Come early and enjoy the park as well. Very family friendly! A kid play area downstairs looks like a blast. The center atrium opens the place up nicely. The soda shop was closed when I was there but it looks fun as well! We will definitely be coming back soon!

A big chunk of history available for your eyes to see. There is plenty of parking space available outside, including handicap accessibility. The ticket for adults is $8, available as soon as you enter the museum. They do have restrooms right near the entrance in the front lobby. A nice place for the history buffs. I do not live in Yakima but drove about two hours to get here, definitely worth it.
Sheraz Mahmood — Google review
Don't miss this very enjoyable museum focused on the Yakima Valley. Many interactive exhibits with fascinating information on the geologic history of the valley and region as well as indigenous people, many examples of transportation vehicles, curiosities and attire. Learn more about famous people from Yakima and the kids can enjoy a fun play area in the "Underground". Top it off with some ice cream when the classic parlor is open.
David Carr — Google review
$8 to get in and definitely worth it. Spent about 2 hours here, but easily could have spent 5-6 hours if we would have had more time. So much to see and learn about Yakima and the culture, that made it into what we see today. Had a great time and looking forward to visiting again in the future.

The staff were super friendly. We bought our own lunch and enjoyed it with their Rose. They provided us with some silverware and were very accommodating.

Very nice facility, good selection, knowledgeable staff. My only “complaint” is the process was too much of a production than truly trying to educate anyone on the wines. More, here’s the list, pick one and drink, then pick another.

This is my favorite winery in the yakima area. They have a few good choices for food like a charcuterie board, a panani and prochiuto wrapped asparagus (seasonal?). We ordered 1 of each and loved them all, plus brought a picnic. Their wine prices are also reasonable. Outside you get a super casual atmosphere(not the typical cookie-cutter-overmanicured-destination winery)
A pond with ducks and a great view! They have seating inside as well. Next time, we are skipping the over thought, over-priced and overdone wineries and heading straight to Bonaire! The staff are also down to earth. Ireally love this place.

Basic gaming floor with slots, poker & table games, also offering a buffet, deli & espresso bar.
A very enjoyable dry casino. Went here for my mother’s birthday, and the blackjack dealer was very friendly and helpful to her, which meant a lot. Same with the roulette dealer the day before. The games are pretty entertaining, with the large majority being slots, but there are some tables to choose from in the middle. The casino smells very clean, and if you are a smoker there is a designated smoking area outside on a balcony. Free sodas of course, and there are a couple food stands and a pretty good buffet to eat at.
Tyler Sampson — Google review
Well I have to agree that you don't have a good time and it's just a good idea to remember that people who are coming in to gamble or to play the slots are not really good for the money you spend.
I hope this helps you find your best plan to making sure that you're guests will not become discouraged by your way of doing business.
You should have a smoking section and a non-smoking
section designated for your guests.
And I believe if you had waitresses to bring water or coffee or sodas so it doesn't interfere with the guests from having to leave a good card table, or having to wait until they lose money on the slot machines.
I will drive to Oregon for a while (overnight). Just to be treated like a winner.
The cost for a room is nothing if your having a good time and you have accommodation.
Drinks, non-smoking and smoking.
And of course you can play cards or slot games without any hassle of getting up to leave for whatever reason.
Karen Wright — Google review
I had not been in since before the remodel and addition of the hotel. Very nice job on that. It was really dark in there which made it a little creepy. The slot machines were very fun. Our favorite was this one with a little devil on it. My husband and I decided to do the seafood buffet. The prime rib was raw. However one employee noticed it and grilled some up but put it right on the contaminated cutting board right next to the raw prime rib. But the rest of the food we had was good. We probably won’t do the buffet again but will try something different there. Security was doing a great job. Couldn’t find where to go get a soda otherwise we may have stayed longer. Overall we had fun.

2nd time coming here, first time was great! This time was a little bit different. The room looks clean but it was very dusty all over. Even the sheets and pillows...never seen a bed with only 3 pillows. Glad it's only one night. So it's okay to stay overnight especially if you're going cherry picking and fruit shopping. It's close to everything.
adonis romotap — Google review
It's much improved. Once so much smoke it was nearly intolerable, and I'm not a smokers snob, but it was bad. It was nice in that respect now, but the slots were super tight, and it is still a dry casino in case you'd like a beer or a beverage. The concert was entertaining, good seats and affordable so no complaints there (we went to see Collective Soul). Also and oddly, they do not "open" the casino until 8 a.m. Not knowing my wife and I went down about 7:15 to play some before we departed and we were intercepted by the security guard who was polite. We're thinking "you all don't want MORE of our money"? LOL We went back to our room and packed up and played on our way out around 830 and as luck would have it recovered about 70% of our slaying from the prior night. haha

No Alcohol, can’t get a drink here. Pool was by reservation only and booked for the weekend! No one in there for the 2 hours I was downstairs. had I know than I wouldn’t have stayed (ruined my kids trip) to top it off I get masks but don’t tell me to pull it up while I am drinking my overly priced coffee. Also would not give extra towels…. Checked out early and won’t be back.

First the rooms.....not bad but beds were a bit too hard for my back. Fridge worked well. Water pressure was good although showerhead was not removable. Now the casino.....when the ATM line is long and the ticket redemption line is non existent....you have a problem. This place is extra tight and if you are playing to win think again because it's not happening here.
Raven Miller — Google review
Machines were tight. Dropped a lot of $$$ with no pushes, bonuses and no features. Was a disappointment for sure. Maybe my luck was off. Seemed like a nice place at the casino. The town near by was kinda sketchy but where isn't these days. I hope the next visit here will be a bit more rewarding.

The worse experience!!
- told my daughter we checked out 2 days ago
- she was under the influence of alcohol and needed a bathroom and used it where the housekeeper was cleaning up.
- supervisor refused to solve any issues and still claimed we checked out. Meanwhile my mother was standing in front of him and refused to hear her.
- supervisor Steve/Steven did not acknowledge what we had to say and he was always right.
-he barred my daughter and claimed she had a fake name - her father was in the hotel list with the same last name. He failed to check it out. He called the police and had her arrested - still claimed we checked out!!! Failed to check our names. Thank goodness my brother told me she was going to be arrested.
- he was rude mannered and felt as if we owed him an apology
- my daughter left her phone and wallet in her uncles car. She claimed she had to sleep outside.
She walked to the gas station hoping to run into a family member. Because Steve/Steven would not take the time to acknowledge she needed to get a hold of one of us at the hotel.
-she was upset - became argumentative and I do not blame her whatsoever.
-Our room was overlooked twice and I had to let front desk know and they claimed they will get someone in to clean it.
- on the second day of no one cleaned the room. I asked to moved into a clean room. I did let them know my husband could not walk far and the room was further down.
- the bell person stated they should have placed us closer. At least she understood.
- the General manager was not in on Monday morning to deal with this issues.
- Spoke with someone else. He listened but we will see how they handled this matter.
- Our family was here for a memorial for my brother and sister!!! This situation added more stress of the lack of cleansing or felt as we had to be watched at all times.
-some of the staff were not friendly - and messed up the names for the guest in the rooms.
- I am upset how my family has been treated with the worsted hotel experience. I would have expected this from non-Native people(First Nations). But when it is Native American run business I would have expected better.
This was one of the worst experiences my family went through. It did not matter how many times I called in to clean the room or order towels. We were ignored. It was bad enough to go to housekeeping to get clean towels. I even offered to vacuum the carpets.
As for the supervisor Steve/Steven. I heard there was many complaints against him. He was rude and ignorant employee that will cost the hotel business.
For a Native American hotel - I felt I was not treated equal and I am a Native American Indian.
Will this matter get solved?! The ball is in their court.
Q: if this was your experienced what I went through - would you be upset? This is for the General Manager and the owner of the hotel.
Signed by - unhappy customer/stressful
If I could give a “0” rating - that is my rating.

The casino is great, a couple drawbacks are, there are no lounges or any place to get an alcoholic beverage here. I’m pretty sure alcohol is prohibited on the property. :( The coffee shop is awesome though! Great service there and great drinks! The breakfast buffet was also really good. I wish there was more for kids to do instead of just swimming. If they had a movie theater, bowling, or an arcade, that would bring fun for the whole family!! The hotel rooms are really nice except for the bed and pillows. The bed was stiff and not comfortable for us at all. The pillows weren’t very good either, we all woke up really sore. After checking in, we went to our room and there was a “do not disturb” card on the door, and our key wouldn’t open it. They accidentally sent us to an occupied room. We went back downstairs and they quickly fixed it. Overall it was a good trip.

On checking in we received a wonderful room very spacious and very clean. The staff was cordial. We had a good time and had a wonderful dinner at the seafood buffet. The staff was very attentive to make sure that our dirty dishes were cleared and that we had plenty to drink. The food was fabulous, even though later in the evening, the crab legs were supreme! The gaming experience was good. Upon checking out the next morning and getting an hour away I realized I had left my Kindle in the room. I called the hotel and the housekeeping staff was able to retrieve it for me. We drove back to pick it up and it was right there with no issues. We would definitely stay here again.
Leslie Eddy — Google review
The room was very nice and clean. However the service was mid tier. The front desk lady was not very kind. When I first checked in she was asking me to pay which I was confused about because I thought I had paid online I was only asking clarifying questions- I wasn’t being rude. She was being very rude and unhelpful. I called the front desk to ask for extra blankets because me and the person I was staying with were freezing and I had already turned up the heat. I was told housekeeping had left and they weren’t able to help me. I really thought this was ridiculous. I know how hotels run and they could have walked their happy butt to a housekeeping closet and grabbed a few blankets for us! I spent a good 1,000$ here at this casino this trip. Disappointed as far as that goes. The seafood boil in the food court here is good though, so is the buffet. Other than being freezing at night and a rude receptionist my first night, my stay has been pleasant.

I advised management players being suspicious of team play and possible dealers in poker room aren't playing straight. They need a shuffle machine. Many hands and plays observed over the weekend raised RED FLAGS. Several traveling players are now suspicious of these activities and will put the word out. Beware of thieves at this location.
General attitude of employees working here seem very moody and rude.
General food and restaurant quality in comparison to most casinos of this size , rate it a 2.0
This casino needs to upgrade its food quality and train there people to be more friendly and customer service oriented.
Only 2 dealers at the tables (non poker ) were super friendly
And 1 security lady was very nice.
Everyone else needs to be brought up to new standards.
At this time I can't recommend this location. Save your money and play where you're business is appreciated and the management takes your concerns seriously.

Beautiful view, no microwave in room, and for the price you pay for the room there should be coffee cream and sugar so you don't have to leave room first thing in the morning to get it, we were given 2 coffee pods ,2 tiny power creamer and 2 tiny sugar, not even enough to make 1 cup of coffee and there were 4 people in the room! Couldn't warm baby bottle either due to no microwave. Also do not ingest the tap water, I had to run a sink full of hot water to warm baby bottle and the sink was full of black stuff that came out of the tap! GROSS!! I did like the location and view though!! Rooms were pretty clean.

Would give 5 stars but they do NOT SERVE ALCOHOL! Be warned. Their advertisements fail to mention that. I found out when I got there. Other then that the service was fine rooms were decent. Food was decent as well.

I live in Las Vegas, so it's not fair to compare. But the casino floor was not very inviting, and it was hard to maneuver around the machines. My wife had fun on one of the machines, but she normally plays video poker, and there isn't any, on the floor. Even the best Casinos in Vegas have kept them around because so many guests love them.
But the restrooms were clean and the machines were clean, but we were early in the day. But no cleaning folks around wiping machines off. Vegas is never without a team cleaning machines off with disinfectant. But it's in a small reservation, so it's probably good enough for the locals there to get their gambling bug fixed.

I had a pretty good time... I enjoy playing the slots as long as I am winning or at the very least stretching out my funds to play longer... An awesome quality of the Legends Casino is a "non smoking" policy on the premise... Makes having fun add up to staying longer... There is a variety of cool and progressive slot machines... It's awesome to take a break once in awhile and let my hair down... Had a great time made a little cash and went home smiling and relaxed.

Easy parking, right off the hwy, and very vary clean casino. Very friendly staff and the fact it was dry makes so you don't have a bunch of drunk angry gamblers walking around. Just wish they were dog friendly.

Had a great time at Legends casino. The suite we had was awesome, clean and very roomy. Was there with my 2 daughters and having 2 bathrooms and 3 sinks was such a treat. No crowding around the mirror at all. Non smoking casino was also wonderful.
The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum is an engaging museum that delves into the history of the gorge, from its formation by cataclysmic floods to the challenges faced by pioneers as they traversed it. The exhibits cover early settlements, transportation in the area, and the impact of dams. The Lewis and Clark wing features a display on animals encountered during their expedition and offers a daily bird of prey educational program with live raptors.
This is a great little museum. If you are a reader of ALL the placards, expect it to take a couple hours or more. However, if you are a “skimmer” this could take an hour. They have a raptor demonstration which is interesting but is mostly talk. Very few of the displays are interactive so kids might get a bit bored. The museum itself is a fine display and in general a clean and functional building. Unfortunately some of the wings in which displays are housed make the order of the layout a bit confusing. Still, it’s a fine museum and I highly recommend it.

Nice museum with some nice set pieces and artifacts. Several videos to watch that can take a while. There was a live kestrel when we went. Outside there is a nice picnic area, but it was quite windy so we ended up eating in the car. Friendly staff. Nice view from here too.

Beautiful facility honoring the history of and around the Columbia River. There is even a gift shop with lots of local treasures - a great spot to pick up unique souvenirs if you're traveling.
Plenty of parking and helpful front desk attendant, as well!

Some really interesting information offered about this spectacular area - especially regarding the fascinating geology. The videos were well done. The treasure hunt was appreciated by our children but the ‘prize’ of a bee sticker was disappointing. Thought quite expensive for what if offered compared to state parks

We hosted our wedding at the Discovery Center. Tiffany and her team were wonderful. Twelve days before our wedding, our prior venue backed out and we were left scrambling. Thankfully, the Discovery Center was available. In less than two weeks, Tiffany and her team helped us prepare the perfect setting for our wedding and reception. The staff were delightful and friendly, they were incredibly thoughtful in helping us sort through all of the details and everything went off without a hitch. In addition to the beautiful scenery and stunning hall, our guests enjoyed touring the exhibits during the reception, and a few enjoyed the quiet of the theatre to escape all the fun of the dance floor. This venue has literally everything you need for the perfect wedding day - including stunning photo locations.

This place is amazing! My son is 3 and wasn't at the age of appreciation of the exhibits but he definitely enjoyed running around. We loved the exhibits. But I definitely have a deep appreciation of the staff, especially Tiffany Bates who went above and beyond for me and my family to celebrate my Mother's life! She and all the staff was so helpful to us, and really just amazing to give us such a proper celebration! We will definitely be visiting again on our travels! Thank you definitely rate 10+ ❤️

This spot is STUNNING. The scenery and discovery center are absolutely beautiful. I loved learning about the raptors and watching the demonstrations with the animals.
The proximity to the bike path was fantastic for exploring nearby restaurants and enjoying beautiful views of the gorge we just learned about. We found an awesome little brewery with amazing food just a few minutes down the path.

Stunning facility and exhibits are incredibly detailed and artistically inclusive! The historical representation includes information from a number of different angles and doesn’t ignore some of the difficult truths. Surrounding scenery is jaw-dropping and breezes off the river are wonderful! Lots of great parking for all sizes of vehicles too :)
Please consider educating your staff on the passport cancellation stamp, and updating the actual stamp: it only goes to year 2021. This is a popular hobby with some people and we tend to nerd-out a bit when we visit locations with this option.
Thanks!

We are Harvest Host members and this was a great stop over in our RV. Large parking lot. Some road noise but didn't bother us, we still got a good night's sleep. Enjoyed the museum very much.

I like museums in general, so take my excitement with a grain of salt!
This museum was super fun! The sections were mainly dedicated to the PNW and history (geological and human) of the Gorge. I really loved it! These sections covered Ice Age & how it shaped the current day Columbia Gorge, native American history of the Gorge, Lewis and Clark expedition, recreation of little pieces like camera, car, boats, etc. that were once used in this gorgeous Gorge. I easily spent close to two hours here.
They also have a kids section which I didn’t really checkout. I loved the small owl enclosure! There are 3 enclosures, but I could see only one owl. The museum gift shop has some interesting trinkets, many of which seem to be made locally. Do checkout the walkways surrounding the center! There are some great views out at the back!
There is a fee of 9$ for adults. Also, there is plenty of parking at the center!

Not too big museum. Pretty nice, no birds of prey /raptors unfortunaly and the AC was not working, so to me the balance of value for money was not right also for how big the exhibitions are. Exhibitions are really nice although.

Wonderful exhibits, great for adults and kids, lots of accessible and visual information about Lewis and Clark and their travels as well as native flora fauna. Loved the enormous mamoth!
Remote mansion with a diverse collection, including Rodin sculptures & Native American artifacts.
I've been to a few museums over the course of my life, but this is definitely one of my favorites. Definitely small, but the collections they have are of pure quality. Great selection of sculptures, paintings, other visual art, and even interactive exhibits such as a wall where you can draw your own painting and place it with those of other patrons'. I found a lot of lovely pictures to admire and had an excellent time walking around and trying to soak everything in. The exterior of the museum is also beautiful, with an even lovelier view outside.
Service here was top-notch. Every single employee I came across here was friendly and helpful. Willing to talk, or leave you alone, depending on which you want. The security guard saw me circling around a couple of times, and had a short conversation with me to recommend what he thought was the best part of the museum, the ornate chess set collection, and I'm happy he told me about it.
The Maryhill Museum of Art was an excellent deal. Prices for admission are surprisingly cheap! They also have a small gift shop that barely looked like a store, but at least had some knick-knacks and other art-related things that you can buy at reasonable prices. I was happy to provide them with a donation and I hope people will keep doing so for them to keep running, as it's an excellent and enriching service.

I went without knowing what to expect. Every time i tell someone about this visit they seem surprised by the array of exhibit topics. When i went they included queen marie of Romania, the museum itself and its founder Sam Hill (buried on the property but the headstone is not quite easily accessible or well marked), théâtre de la mode, native American objects (disappointed that there wasn't any local native history included), chess sets, and a collection of glass. There's also a very limited sculpture garden. There's also a full size and complete replica of Stonehenge on a fully separate area of the property.

All staff were following Covid safety procedures, we and everyone we saw were wearing mask.
This place was very unusual collection of art. The Sam Hill video is a must at the very start so you will understand the whole vibe around this place. A wide gambit of art pieces & history. Like they collected stuff from around the world then dropped it into one place.
Don't miss the hundreds of custom chess pieces in the lower area. The fact this place was to be a home was not surprising due to the rich story of Sam Hill.
The outside art & walking area was very relaxing.
Cafe was closed, but WHO CARES we didn't go there to eat.
We took lots of pictures of the chess sets, because our 26 yr old grandson would love this.
Don't let any negative reviews of this place stop you from checking it out for yourself.
Your family can even picnic here.
LOTS of RV & bus parking

Such a stunning collection of quite a variety of exhibits. Walked in not knowing anything about it and walked out in disbelief at seeing a collection of Rodin sculptures. Had no idea they were there. The other exhibits were all great and definitely worth your time. Truly an amazing, quirky little place.

Did not expect to see such diversity of collections. Very impressive Native American craft collection and well arranged. Interesting Paris after World War II miniature fashion shows.
The Romania folks costumes are impressive. The chess set collection is fun to see. The ground is dotted with sculptures. We spent most morning there. Very interesting architecture with the host, Sam Hill, wanting to have guests sleep on the top deck to see the stars. This museum inspires.

This was a wonderful museum. I would have loved to access the cafe, it was closed. I didn't see any maps on a wall or stand which would have helped ( the star ⭐ you are here, and where you could go next) we had a hand held map, but other maps to verify would be nice. You can take pictures but no flash photography. More places for fans or AC during the hot weather is needed.

I walked out of this place utterly disgusted and disappointed. The main attraction that I came to see was the native artifacts. What I found was a whole lot of evil secret society symbolism and deception. I didn’t post pictures of the top level because it contained dark occult symbolism that does not need to be shared. This is blasphemy to the natives!

It's been a while since my last visit to the museum. I love the grounds and the building architecture as much as the contents inside. There is so much to experience and see inside with beautiful art, cultural treasures, and history. Writing about everything would occupy a significant amount of time. Suffice it to say that the best way to do Maryhill is simply to visit and experience it for yourself. It is a treasure in so many ways.

This museum is deceptively LARGE... there is so much more here than I expected from the outside. I was impressed with the number of artists and subjects covered as well as the amount of entertaining historical facts available, it was a wonderful, entertaining experience. We enjoyed ourselves wandering all 3 levels of the building and then sat on one of the benches overlooking the river and had a picnic. This is a highly recommended destination.

I mostly visited this time to see the chess set collection. This is one of the best in the US, with approximately 80 sets on display and in excess of 400 in the collection. There were sets that ranged from mid-19th century Ivory to 2020 3D printed sets. They were given their own gallery in 2019. The Museum is worth the $12 admission just for the chess sets.
In addition to the chess sets, the museum has galleries devoted to items from pre-communist Romania donated directly to the museum by the royal family and a Native American gallery.

The setting for this museum is amazing high on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River with great Mt. Hood views. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor areas with the sculptures and interpretive area. I wish the cafe were open on our visit as it would have been great to hang out on the lower terrace with refreshments.
Amazing views of the Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood from the expansive outdoor deck. The indoor tasting room is attractive and comfortable. The wine flight is included in a $25 wine purchase. I enjoyed the Salmon Cakes. Very friendly service. Recommend.

First time going to this winery and I enjoyed the overall atmosphere as many people have mentioned. Its located not far from the gorge and down the street from the Maryhill Museum. The staff was very friendly and polite. I also want to mention I went midweek. I can see how this place would be very busy on the weekends when more events take place on the grounds.
However I felt like many things were overpriced for consumption on site. The prices for a bottle seemed decent though if you wanted to take some home. Most common order seemed to be the flight, which was 20 dollars for 8 two ounce pours. I didn't care for the lack of options to pick what I wanted to try in a flight, which is generally a common thing at most wineries, or having the option to choose from several types of flight depending on the person's palate.
I might consider going again another time perhaps on a weekend.

This place had the kindest people. My boyfriend proposed to me here and they were so accommodating. They allowed us to explore so it was a more private intimate proposal. They then gave us complimentary champagne and let us keep the cork to remember that day. The manager, Cherlea? came up and gave me a big hug and congratulated us. This was definitely the best place to have that special moment, and the people were a big part of why it was special. And not to mention the views were amazing! Being able to enjoy a great glass of wine looking out on the gorge was so beautiful and made an amazing day so much better. So thank you (:

Lovely spot out of town. We enjoyed a glass fo rose. Next time I'll try a few more wines, but it looks like you get a better wine experience and conversation inside at the bar vs. out on patio.

I don't know which I like better - the wine or the view! Thankfully when you visit you don't have to choose, you get both. The wines are really good. The tasting bar is beautiful and has plenty of space for many tasters at once. The servers are always friendly and attentive even though they are juggling many customers - the place always seems pretty busy! I always enjoy the tasting, but what really makes the visit superb is buying a glass to enjoy on the patio. The views are incredible! This trip was unique for us as there was a layer of snow amid the vines and snow on the hillsides around the Columbia - just amazing. I had a limit of one bottle per winery stop during this trip as we were travelling in our Truck Camper and we have to be aware of the vehicle weight.... and then oops.... we bought 2 cases, where is that going to go? We will visit again soon!

The wine was good, the servers were good. However, I didn’t like this as a winery “experience”. Usually when I go to a winery, the person pouring tells me a bit about the wine I’m about to drink AND a bit of chat. (And sometimes the chatty bit can be too much). This particular winery seems to place more of an emphasis on efficiency rather than education.
My partner and I choose the seated option for our wine pours which meant all of the tasting choices came out at once rather than someone pouring the next option and explaining the tasting notes. It seemed very designed to get people in and out in less than 30 mins. While I don’t regret coming in to taste a variety of wines, I didn’t walk out with an understanding about this winery’s process, strengths, or even why I should buy their wine at the store! There are much better wineries in the area!!!!

It is a gorgeous venue and the wine is tasty, but I couldn’t get over them charging us SEVEN DOLLARS each to have all the flight pours brought to the table at once. It wasn’t refundable or applied to the price of wine. We had to pay an extra $7 each to drink the wine we paid for. What a racket! Will not be returning while that policy remains in place.

I am a psychic. We went here to enjoy history and be more aware of it. This museum is the actual house where a doctor resided. The design and the history are rich. Staff here are so welcoming, absolutely delightful. They are accepting of all types of visitors, even MY TYPE. I got so many readings from this property. And most were extreme. Stuff I can't post on here. Beautiful house! Beautiful displays. Areas you can touch, the house itself is pristine. The grounds are immaculate. They also have an antique garage. This garage holds 2 carriages that were specific for funerals. They carried the bodies, right down the road, to the cemetery.

As far as Pacific Northwest history goes, this is an old fort. Remnants survive as a free outdoor and pay indoor museum. The modern city of the Dalles has grown all around it making it seem at first to be a park. What surprised me is how high above the river the military built it. It commands a good view of the Columbia River corridor. The Oregon Trail ended at the Dalles and in time US military presence came in to support it.

We had a great 4 hr trip down the Salmon River with Noah with our family of 4, including two kiddos (13 & 10) some fantastic rapids but still felt safe and prepared with the instruction our guide was giving keeping us posted of when we would need to dip towards the middle and when a big rapid was coming up. The water was cold, but the wet suits and splash jackets provided along with your adrenaline made the trip tolerable...I mean the water to the face will definitely "wake" you up...but its to be expected from the Salmon River. The perfect ending was a jump off a 20' bridge by a nearby area. This was such a highlight as part of our summer trip.

We took our daughter and one of her friends (2 girls in the front of the raft) on the Deschutes full day rafting trip for her 14th birthday. It was both her and her friends first time rafting. Our guide, Dawson, was very experienced, had hilarious dad jokes and stories, and made sure Jocelyn and her friend had an amazing time. River drifters went above and beyond by ensuring we were safe but also making sure everyone on our trip had a blast ! We already can’t wait for next year and will be requesting Dawson again !

So much of the experience happens off the water and our trip was no exception. Hanging out at camp -- good company and good conversation. Our friends had never been on a rafting trip before and they loved it. We've decided to make it an annual tradition!

Went with some friends and did the 1/2 day on the Clackamas. For some of the group this was a first-time experience and others just the first time on the Clackamas. All of us had a great time. Our guide, Larry, was awesome. He tried several jokes, but we were a tough crowd. He found our interest point quickly however.... got into the wildlife, geology, history and talked about the fires. He was great prepping us for what was to come, and he was a star when we got hung up due to low water. We LOVED the photos and bought them all! Larry and team were great.

I can’t say enough good things about our River Drifters Rafting trip. Friendly, honest, experienced locals that know every inch of the river like the back of their hand. We took our 7 and 8 year olds down the Deschutes River for half a day. It was the perfect mix of fun class 1-3 rapids and smooth floating for them. They absolutely loved it. Thanks to all the staff that take care of every detail to make us tourists learn to love the river like they do. We will return! 💦

This is a company that has been in the business a long time and definitely knows what they are doing. Outstanding customer service, COVID compliant and some of the best guides available. The guide for our day trip was Zach Williams and not once did I question the safety of the hands we were in. Several other guides and rafters we encountered along the trip confirmed it by telling us "He's the best guide out here". Multiple trip options to choose from and the experience will be as tame or daring as you and your group chooses. It was so much fun and the pictures the company photographer took really captured it. My group and I are looking forward to the next one. I could not recommend this business more!

I had never been rafting and was nervous. Especially because we were bringing our 7 year old son. Everything was great. Our guide, Paris, was fabulous with us an our son. She listened to our requests to go easy and it was very easy to follow her commands on the raft. We loved it and will be back. There was another boat in our group that flipped, but they went down a level 4 rapids. If you want to take it chill, talk to your guides before getting on the water. It was a day trip we will remember fondly always.

Kirk caught on fast and made sure to help our son feel capable, included and best of all, Kirk made sure Connor had a great time. We can't wait to head back next summer! Hopefully we get Kirk again.

It's a smaller casino which is just fine for a quick stop-in to grab a snack & beverage while dropping a few bucks in the machines. It's a nice stop to stretch your legs when heading to and from Central Oregon.

Dirty, run-down facility full of vagrants and many offline slot machines. The main restaurant is rarely open, and the secondary restaurant can be compared to a school cafeteria. It's not worth the stop. Stay safe and keep driving.

A very clean super friendly visit. This casino is well thought out and has space to expand & grow . I love the tribal assistance office proudly front & center . Again very nice experience decorated for Halloween and displaying a beautiful carving

They were great about taking temps when entering. Very polite. It was the first time ever stopping here, though we've driven through the little town many times. It's small. And all we seemed able to locate were penny slots. If they have anything else, I apologize. We just didn't see anything else . Convenient cash in machines made it easy to exchange vouchers, and some machines took the vouchers cashed out from other machines. Very convenient.

I have so much fun when I stop by here. It's off of HWY 26 and you really can't miss it. This casino is spacious and easy to get around in. The variety of games and prices are ample. The staff are friendly and they have plenty of staff around to help or assist when needed. Payouts aren't great but I play for fun, right? The experience is a good one.

This was my first time at this casino. My fiance and I took a good friend there as a birthday gift and we all had a lot of fun! The inside is beautiful, they have free soda available too. For fun, they should buy at least a couple very old school slots that actually pays out in actual coins. Anyone older than 40 knows the satisfaction of hearing those coins dropping in the bin. This casino is very well layed out, with lots of exciting games. Lots of 1c slots which is awesome. They have days of the week where there are promotions like nifty fifty on Tuesday when we went and we got $20 free play which was cool. That went pretty quick but I did put in $10 in a penny slot and cashed out at $174! First time I've ever won anything. Pretty cool for my first time. But I'd recommend it if you love casinos!

Staff is so friendly! Very clean establishment and welcoming to stay and eat and gamble. Love to stop here and check my luck out on the slots when I travel through.

This casino is pretty fun to go to, it's like a kick back and relax, gamble a little bit then go home. It's got a good variety of games. The lady who works at the bonus club was sweet and kind to assist me with my bonus club card multiple times and without losing her cool and just with a smile. The restaurant isn't really the best though but I would recommend the tule bar that is where the good food is.
The restaurant does offer a buffet but it doesn't offer a large variety it's very small.
And the cheese burger I had wasn't the best I couldn't even taste cheese .

Me and my wife were passing through from Oregon headed to Seattle on vacation and stopped at Indian Head casino now I have read the reviews about this casino and you have to remember that this is not the old days trying to hustle casinos to make a living just isn't going to happen anymore it's not in the cards trust me. If you use this establishment for what it was intended for a person can have a great time and not leave here with negative comments. Everybody meaning staff that works here was extremely friendly and we had a great time.

Honestly this place just needs a fresh update but hopefully if it happens they should totally keep that vintage casino vibe with a modern twist. I hope after Kay-Nee-Tah opens this summer this reservation will get the resources it deserves to grow more. Definitely suggest stopping on the way to central Oregon and support this community.

This clean and friendly casino provided fun and good food for my wife and I last night. The holiday decor was beautiful. The entire facility was very clean, rest rooms, machines and Tule Grill. We were not hesitant to order food. The bacon cheese burger was good and full of fresh condiments. My wife enjoyed the fries. They did have alcoholic beverages. Some machines didn’t pay much, but we were able to find higher paying machines and walked out with hundreds. We had been to Ilani a couple nights before and didn’t have near the positive experience we had at Indian Head. Small enough not to be overwhelmed. Friendly staff. Clean environment. Good food. Good pays. Good night. We will be back.

Fun lighting inside. Clean bathrooms too. I played the slots here and spent it at the buffet. The buffet is pricey and just OK, unless you are REALLY hungry and will get your money's worth. Better to eat at the shops outside if you are not so hungry. You can usually get Indian Tacos, pretty good and inexpensive.

Wasn't to bad for a Thursday night, wasn't too crowded either and Bridget in the tule grill had very good service and she kept the wait time to a minimum, which was nice

It's an older casino. Has a late 60's early 70's feel. They offer free coffee, but the soda machines are not working.
We walked into the restaurant and waited to be seated. No one came over. We walked to check out the salad bar and walked away.
We ordered Philly steak and cheese sandwich from the grill restaurant. The sandwiches came on what appeared to be hot dog buns and I counted just two tiny squares of bell pepper and one tiny onion. It tasted microwaved. However the french fries were terrific.
My dad and stepmom love this casino, but it's more for the much older crowd.
I saw a backpack sitting on the bench right out the front door and notified security. They said no backpacks are allowed inside. Just was weird to see a backpack alone. Made me think of the bombs that have gone off while inside of backpacks.

I liked the vibe here. It was cleaner and less noisy than many casinos. Kind of nice to be in a smaller space. Ate at the Tule Grill and had an excellent burger. It tasted flame-broiled.
We went out of our way to visit the ranch and found many beautiful cut thunder eggs that were beautiful. Large selection of rocks from around the world.

Highly recommend if you are a rockhound! Worth the drive if you are from out of town or a great place to stop if you are on a road trip. Very reasonably priced and always fun to hunt for that special something. We always walk away with more than we originally planned.

Been coming to this place for years because it is one of the best stops for rocks on the west coast. A true hidden gem with something for everyone here.
Love doing business with Richardson Rock Ranch!
Andrea Carroll — Google review
I really like this place a lot. They no longer allow you to dig your own thundereggs, but that's great because it's so much easier to let them do the digging @$2/lb. The drive is beautiful. There are so many rocks from around the world. Hard to find (older stock) of jaspers, agate, etc. One could spend all day here and not see all of the rocks. The owners are very nice and knowledgeable people.
Matt Richards — Google review
They have a wonderful selection of raw stones, crystals, and thunder eggs outside and a very nice collection of tumbled, polished and shaped stones and crystals inside. So glad we took a detour to stop and check it out! Some of my beautiful finds in their new home 😍 they haven't been cleaned up yet, but they still speak to me!
Super friendly proprietors that can tell you all about their items.
Stop in to add to your stone/crystal collection and visit the Ostrich and Peacocks too.
We'll be back soon!

An absolute paradise for rock lovers 😍 I drove many hours to go here and was not at all disappointed. There are so many rocks from all over the world, and also a beautiful gift store with lots of treasures. I could have spent all day here, and all my money. I can’t wait yo visit it again sometime (soon!🤞).

If you like Crystals and Rocks, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! Extremely affordable prices and they never change, Richardson’s Rock Ranch is a family own crystal and rock RANCH (not a shop) you can find almost any beautiful rock you need for your project or just to add to your collection.

This place rules! If you like rocks, family fun, and weird birds. Go here! Protip; if you go on a hot day, be sure to bring lots of water, sunscreen, hats, and a long sleeve shirt, because it is hot hot hot.
We found some amazing rocks, gems, and sweet deals.
I work as a jeweler and I got loaded up on all the minerals I need for the the year. So awesome!
Jake Brunner — Google review
Amazing experience with plenty of rock beds and lots of beautiful scenery. We had no difficulty getting 2 buckets of thunder eggs. You can buy rocks from all over the world including some exotic types and they have a gift shop and museum. Very affordable and fabulous adventure for families, rock hounds and anyone looking for gems and minerals.
Artificial lake in a desert canyon, known for fishing & water sports, with campsites & houseboats.
We camped at Perry South campground. Got a nice corner spot next to the fresh water pump. There was plenty of shade. The lake is huge by our standards, and Chinook Island is a great place to spend an afternoon. We caught Kokanee and bass. Oh, and the campsite bathrooms were clean and didn't smell.

Amazing place to vacation. We camped at Crooked River Campground in the Cove Palisades State Park. The campsite was large and the bathrooms were cleaned everyday. Clean showers were a blessing at the end of the day! There was lots of wild life and deer. Hiking trail and small amphitheater area for a large group gathering. AT&T had reception but T-Mobile users were out of luck in camp.
Lots of fun on the water. And grassy tree shaded play area for kids on the bank with protected swim area right next to boat launch. Made it easy to take turns on the water with large family. There is a courtesy dock that was extremely useful. There is a kayak launch too. Great to board kayak roller launch into water easy . There is a marina for fuel and general store for things you forgot( like a case of water) . Lots of opportunity to rent house boats, jet skis and other watercraft.
Would suggest to go to “clear water” where the green water of Lake Billy Schnook meets the fresh mountain river. The water in the river is crystal clear and cold which is a big contrast to the green warm water of Billy Schnook. The rock canyon walls are beautiful. Lava, pressure and time have created works of art. Nature is beautiful. On land I would suggest to visit the scenic look out points. You can see Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the Sisters. ( plus the others in the ring of fire. Don’t know all the names) . We were there 7 days and could have stayed longer.

Great little reservoir. Be careful of warm weather algae blooms, you can check this online.
Otherwise, you can often see roaming horses, eagles and you can fish here.

I went here for a Christian summer camp with my church and I got to meet a lot of new people and make a lot of friends especially kids around my age and some really cool leaders. There were areas where we could go on Shore and hike or walk around if we wanted to we were also able to canoe and swim almost wherever we wanted. We stayed on houseboats and it was a really fun experience to know what it's like to live on a boat and to get closer to God. The only not-so-fun part was the almost a little over eight hour drive but it was still cool because we got to ride the whole way in tour buses that had TVs and USB ports so we have entertainment .I will still definitely be going again next year and making even more memories and strengthening my relationship with God. P. S I just wrote a really long review because I need to level up my tour guide account and to do that I have to make 5 200-plus character reviews.

I was doing an Aeriel video shoot for Tommy Tucker Aerial Productions and this is a snippet of my work. Atop Round Butte looking down is such a great view. For boaters & Campers this is a wonderful 'must see' State Park located near Culver Oregon just a short drive from Highway 97.

Bodies of Water
Five stars in Autumn. Did the loop trail from Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery to Lower Bridge than back on the other side of the river. Went there at early October, a lot of Falls color and the water are so clear. The hike is around 6 miles round trip easy hike. It is rare that you could hike on the edge of the river most of the way. The river is also a hot spot for fly fishing.
Opiat Chan — Google review
Beautiful walk to the metolius river viewpoint. The ponderosa pines are gorgeous here. The chipmunks are also very curious here. There is a large parking area at the viewpoint and vaulted pit toilets that can get pretty stinky during the day and also a walk in camp. There is a picnic area as well. Benches at the river viewing area and some along the way. 8/13/18

There is a gorgeous hiking trail near Camp Sherman that leads to the fish hatchery. There are a few small waterfalls and the river is ver clear with amazing blue and green colors.
Teresa N — Google review
Rated one of the top 3 most pristine rivers in the United States with some of the best fly fishing for trophy trout anywhere. It starts underground from west of the Cascades and emerges out of the rocks near Camp Sherman. At the end of the pathway where you can just sit and enjoy the beauty of Central Or. Take a step back in time and relax. It's good for the soul

An incredibly beautiful river, eleven different well-maintained campsites, the charming Camp Sherman store, and The intriguing Fish Hatchery. Honestly this place has something fun for everyone! Yet another reason my family's been camping there for over 60 years.

Meadow Lakes Golf Course
Public golf course

This is a real gem of a course that is so reasonably priced it makes me want to move to Prineville for the golf. Lovely green fairways lead to fast but fair greens that were in great shape. The whole course is very well maintained and all the facilities were in top shape. Nice golf carts as well as the option of electric scooter for rent. The pro shop is well stocked and it has a nice little restaurant as well. Lots of water on this course but it’s not too difficult if you hit the fairway on your drives. There were deer grazing on the 18th hole and plenty birds in the ponds and waterways. The price was very reasonable for such a great course.
Paul Bacon — Google review
Awesome course nestled down in Prineville. Well maintained. Ample ammount of water and bunkers. Great layout: challenging, but not overly so. If you shoot 100 or 80, you'll still find it enjoyable. Played here two days in a row. Friendly staff, a well maintained course and a good value. We'll be back some time.

I know it is early in the season but I arrived a good 30 to 40 minutes before sunset and as soon as I got my bag on my shoulder and walked toward the range a guy runs out of the Pro Shop and tells me they are about to close. Come on! First day of spring and the weather is great. When I worked at golf courses growing up we never got out of there before dark; heck we closed the place IN THE DARK. Again I know it is early but the Course looks rough. Wet and furry and gray. I played Crooked River Ranch last month and it was in much better shape. Get it together Meadow Lakes.

There were lots of water and sand traps in the golf course. They also had food. I am also proud to say thank you for letting me, my partner, and the team we competed against for giving us golf carts. They were very helpful giving us water and Gatorade while we were walking our carts the first nine holes. Thank you to the meadow lakes golf course for their hospitality, for their staff, the volunteers, and most importantly, the sponsors. We couldn't have had the competition without you. The course was beautiful as well as the weather.

Amazing day at and amazing course! Family was in town for a family reunion, decided to sneak in a round before the festivities, found this gem in prineville and let me tell you the views of the course are amazing , even coming down the hill overlooking it we were amazed! The course was in awesome shape , plush grass , well manicured greens ,. We were elated the whole day ! It took awhile as we walked and it is a large course , just more time for brews! The drinks were cheap and the fun was non stop! We let a few carted small groups play thru as we were taking our time enjoying the course. Took us about 4.5 hrs for 18 and we both had zero complaints! We’re already planning our trip back,. Best part ,. ITS SO AFFORDABLE! Paid a few bucks more then my local executive course I play weekly ,.. did I say I was coming back? Cuz I am !

Found a hidden gem in Central Oregon. Meadow Lakes in Prineville is a gorgeous, perfectly maintained golf course with lush tee boxes, fairways, and greens. It is long, with water and sand on every hole. And ONLY $30 for 18 holes with a cart, after 3pm Mo-Th.

I've only been to the Restaurant/bar a couple times but it has always been great. Service was good even for a large crowd. Excellent accommodations for a group event. Food was very good for a buffet and can please any size appetite. The course looked nice too.
