Tri-Cities, Washington: Hood Park, COE Campground

 

The tri-cities area of Washington is in the southeast corner of the state. We found a great Corps of Engineers Campground here called Hood Park. It’s on the Snake River just above the point the Snake River empties into the Columbia River.

In fact its only two miles above the point Lewis & Clark camped during their epic exploration of the ‘wilderness’ west of St Louis, looking for the highly hoped for but non-existent Northwest Passage.D7K_0715

There was a grain storage facility on the far bank that became a nice focal point for several spectacular sunsets.

We almost always enjoy COE campgrounds and Hood Park is no exception. Peaceful, quiet, clean and well maintained, Hood Park was a little slice of heaven.

Just a little fun at night with the river and barge lights…

Loved the geese in the sky and in the water.
