Klickitat County stretches from the shoulder of Mount Adams to the cliffs of the Columbia, delivering four seasons of sky, sun, and serious scenery. Weekends fill quickly with river time and trail time, and weeknights still offer quiet, starry skies. You’ll find close-knit communities with farmers markets, arts events, and outdoor clubs, plus a practical cost of living and easy access to essential services through the Klickitat County website.
Outdoors lovers can roam the wildflower slopes and basalt bluffs of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, then trade boots for a bike on the rolling rails-to-trail of Klickitat Trail State Park. After dark, astronomy takes center stage at Goldendale Observatory State Park, where some of the nation’s best public telescopes turn clear nights into jaw-dropping planetarium shows. Art and history shine at Maryhill Museum of Art, and the nearby Stonehenge Memorial offers a one-of-a-kind Columbia Gorge viewpoint and World War I tribute.
Families appreciate options like White Salmon Valley School District and Goldendale School District, known for engaged teachers, strong extracurriculars, and small-school connection. Weekends pair hikes with tastings and culture, from bluffside picnics to gallery visits, all within an unhurried, welcoming pace.
