Camping in Eastern Washington
If you are in
an RV or a tent, you will find camping and boating in eastern Washington State a warm and relaxing
experience.
Eastern verses Western Washington
The eastern two thirds of
Washington State
is uniquely different from the western Washington
coastal plain that lies west of the Cascade Mountains. Western Washington’s
signature is dense dark green Douglas Fir forests and the rain required to
grow those forests.
Eastern Washington lies
east of the Cascade
Mountain range that holds
the moisture from the Pacific Storms to the west. That gives Eastern
Washington a
|
|
dryer, warmer climate in
the tourist season and a colder and dryer climate in the winter months.
In the photo to the right
you see some of the barren hills of the high dessert in eastern Washington.
If that those hills were
in western Washington you would see dense forests but on the dryer high
desert plain of Eastern Washington you see less vegetation. In the summer the only green you will see
on the hills in wine country, will be irrigated orchards and green belts
along the rivers and streams. The
real treat in this area is in the spring when the grasses and other
vegetation on the hills are green and the trees in the orchards are
blooming.

The Eastern
Cascades
The hills on the eastern foothills of
the Cascade Mountains lack the forests
that the wetter west side foothills have.
