El Monumento Nacional de Reach

Discover the untamed beauty of the Hanford Reach National Monument, a protected landscape showcasing the Tri-Cities' rich natural and cultural history. This breathtaking monument preserves the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River in the U.S., offering stunning views, diverse wildlife, and remnants of Ice Age floods.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore hiking trails, wildlife refuges, and scenic overlooks, while history buffs can learn about the area's connection to the Manhattan Project and its deep-rooted Native American heritage. The monument also includes sites like the White Bluffs Townsite, where visitors can glimpse the remnants of a once-thriving agricultural community displaced during World War II.

Whether you're hiking through scenic landscapes, spotting elk and bald eagles, or marveling at the dramatic White Bluffs, The Reach offers an unforgettable glimpse into Washington’s wild beauty. For a unique perspective, consider experiencing it by boat and explore the monument from the waters of the Columbia River.
