Trout Lake is a special part of the world. The organic valley sits at the base of Mt. Adams, a 12,276-foot-high volcano known as Pah-to to local Klickitat and Yakama Indians. Just south of Trout Lake is the Columbia River gorge famous for wind sports and great wine tasting. Here are some ideas while you're here.
