Klickitat County, Washington

Klickitat Location Map Washington

Klickitat County occupies the south of Washington state. To the west, you’ve got forests and mountains. Head east, and it gets drier fast.

The Columbia River forms the southern border of this interesting section of Washington. Goldendale, the county seat, is famous for its observatory. On clear nights, the stars put on quite a show.

There’s history here too. The Klickitat Trail follows an old railroad route. Native American tribes lived here for millennia before settlers arrived. These days, it’s where you can still find open spaces and big skies.
