Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and Wasco County Museum
This is a very good museum with exhibits covering the formation of the Columbia River Gorge, Native Americans, Lewis and Clarkm and the Oregon trail pioneers.
The museum is fairly accessible. There are a few exhibits that are a little high. One section of the Lewis and Clark exhibit has a dugout canoe in the middle of the floor and there isn’t enough room for a wheelchair to pass by it to get to some of the displays. The nature trail is smooth asphalt. It connects to another trail, the River Front Trail. We followed the River Front Trail for about a mile. It’s a beautiful trail but the first two tenths of a mile are downhill and the rest has slight grades. The entire trail is about nine miles out and back. Most wheelchair users will need some help on the hills.
The parking lot is really big with long spaces for RVs. Museum Trail
