White Salmon > Hood River imo

White salmon is such a great spot. Also home of arguably the 2nd best brewery in the state.

Oh hey there neighbor! Your patio (i.e., all of White Salmon) from my front yard

This picture so perfectly summarizes the PNW summers.

It's official: your view beats our view.

We're newer to the area, and were initially worried we'd be crossing the bridge constantly. One year on and our friends in HR are the ones more likely to jump the river to hang with us on the Washington side.

Wow, that’s awesome you were able to get the hummingbird so clearly! Shot on your phone or a camera?

I think we have the same feeders, Tractor Supply? We keep the Whidbey hummingbirds well fed lol

I have the same hummingbird feeder, but gosh it’s so much more beautiful with a view like that in the background 😍

You’re looking pretty close to Bingen (however you say it) territory...

Ace Hardware, but I'm sure they sell it in a few places.

Thanks! Shot this on my Sony A7IV with the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GMaster lens.

It's honestly so beautiful around here that comparing views starts to feel like debating which Bach concerto is the best. In any case, whichever view is better, you're a way better photographer and I wish I could capture what it looks like over here in Underwood half so well as you do!

Pros:
- Better views of Mt. Hood, HR Valley, and the Gorge,
- Less crowded, especially in that there are fewer annoying tourists and people just stopping off in the middle of a trip down 84 or 35,
- Still close to Hood for skiing, the Columbia and other rivers for water sports, and national forests for various outdoor activities,
- No state income tax,
- Super underappreciated wineries (personally I really love Cor and Aniche, both of which have views to rival even Stave and Stone, but without the highly commercialized almost Disney-esque vibe),
- Neighbors are super helpful (at least mine are),
- Can literally look down on Oregonians in HR.
Cons:
- Need to go to HR or the Dalles for most shopping,
- The Bridge of Death,
- Neighbors are super helpful.

Such an awesome place. My mom lives in North Bonneville and works in White Salmon. The view from her work is also super amazing! I can’t wait to escape the Midwest to that area someday

Looks like this is just below the hospital. Miss the view from there.
