Wasco County, Oregon
Wasco County straddling the Columbia River in north-central Oregon. The Dalles, its biggest city, was once the end of the Oregon Trail. Today, it’s all about cherries, wheat, and wind farms.
Drive east and you’ll hit high desert. Head west for lush forests. Mount Hood’s snowy peak looms on the horizon. The Deschutes River is a fly-fishing paradise.
Native American history runs deep here, where you can find petroglyphs all over the cliffs. It’s sunny 300 days a year. That’s why they grow such amazing fruit.
